They are designing more for eye candy, less for usability. For example it is common to have gray text on white background, hard to read. Black themes for programming IDEs often have dark gray background, reducing contrast. Scrollbars are now thin, hard to see, often disappearing automatically and sometimes it is hard to distinguish which part is the scrollbar handle and which the background. Sometimes it is the same with switches - on/off. Is that switch on or is off? Sometimes hard to see as both states are similarly bright just different color.

It isn't ideal, but this environment may make it much easier to rejig care standards.

The large number of patients with very similar symptoms would make it straightforward to test ideas out. I would also expect that the dire nature of the situation also makes it practical to experiment in a way that would not be possible normally.

It'll be harrowing and traumatic for the doctors, but the circumstances are conducive to promote swift learning about respiratory diseases. The fast way to learn is to be able to break a thing in many different ways. Not normally practical for health due to legislation and community outcry.
Not the right place or time for this, but congrats on your release
Preparing for the previous war is a classic mistake. This is irresponsible by Sweden without more data on the virus. New reports indicate that we don’t develop enough antibodies for herd immunity to be an option and it is even worrisome w/r to developing a vaccine. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-immuni...

It was strange when we had a couple global tld and the rest were ccTLDs. Now that anybody with cash can buy a tld from ICANN, it is less strange.
816 of the current 1400 deaths in Sweden have been in Stockholm. So based your math, we are at around 40% infection rate. I live here, and anecotely i can say that is too high. In my circles, maybe it's 10-20%. Lots of old folks homes were hit here that increase the IFR.

I've studied this a lot. Narcissism and self-loathing are the same thing. The trick is that the self is malleable and can include others (family and close friends).

It's a pay-it-forward system where the kid gets stuck in the vice, with nobody in the system below him/her to pay it forward/downward to (you might have heard this as "shit rolls downhill").

So for the kid it's actual self-loathing, since there's no other candidate in the extended self to disqualify with high standards (like "just being normal"). This kid (it's usually just one of the kids) is called the scapegoat.

Do you not have a radio clock?

They're common in Europe, on a midrange bedside clock for example, and typical office/school clocks.

I remember we were foiled by one at school, when someone set the clock 15 minutes forward when the teacher wasn't looking. The hands could only move forward, so a few minutes later they started spinning 11½ hours further forward to set the correct time.

We talk about the problems of jargon and people think that's the unexpanded acronyms or the complex Latin. But these uses of jargon are obvious and clearly visible. If you use the word agranulocytosis I know that I don't know what you mean and I ask you and we have a conversation and I learn something. The wicked jargon is the normal English word to which we apply a very specific meaning.

Here's a machine. We use it to provide mechanical ventilation. Those patients are receiving ventilation. The machine is a class of ventilator. Don't ever call it a ventilator though, because it's a BiPap machine.

Maybe Musk should be a bit more humble. It'd help his corporate comms if he just came out and said "I don't know what a vent is, but I asked hospitals what they wanted and I bought the machines they asked for".

Yes - via a vaccine. The 'measles' wikipedia page is a good primer on how effective natural herd immunity is (clue: it isn't)
Once you have a certain number of infected it would take a long time (months or years) to stop it without a vaccine.
>Since when is WebAssembly bare metal?!?

Not sure what that is referring to.

>C++ as .NET language

We seem to be talking about 2 different things. Using "C++" style syntax (C++/CLI) in a managed language with GC is not what many systems programmers call "bare metal". I thought it was clear from context that my mention of C++ is traditional "real C++" such as gcc/clang/MSVC and not the C++/CLI.

>Going back to Java, IBM, Aicas, PTC, Gemalto will happily sell you Java compilers that generate AOT native code

But that's not the JVM runtime though. The JVM is what you originally wrote and that's the scope of what I was replying to: ("Just like the JVM and CLR I guess. (List_of_JVM_languages ...)")

The _JVM_ doesn't really give you low-level bare-metal programming and it doesn't matter what flavor of JVM-language you choose to run on top of it.

And at the risk of further muddying up the discussion with the tangent subject of Java AOT... do any of those Java compilers give true value type semantics or is still references with pointer chasing? I'm not familiar with those compilers.

>and where your beloved C and C++ code

"beloved"?!? Can we tone down this down a bit? I'm just trying to clarify that JVM & CLR really don't span the entire spectrum of programming all the way down to "bare metal" in the way low-level programmers are typically using that phrase. I thought I was making a neutral and factual statement. I.e. I'm not interested in an emotional flamewar.
Good Budget is the one that I use after trying a TON of them in January this year. It was one of the few that really does the kinds of things I want.

Some things that I wish it had or did differently are:

- The progress bars should show the money that is scheduled to be used for a given bucket (probably in a different colour or something)

- It'd be nice to show a $/day remaining for a bucket, again taking into account the scheduled transactions too

- In the upcoming transactions, it should show all the
upcoming repeats for a given transaction within the current budget period.. E.g. if I have something that is $100/week, the scheduled transactions only shows 1x $100 transaction. You can replicate what I want by creating 4 different transactions that repeat every 4 weeks, but thats silly :D

- I'd like a way to enter a transaction as a 'draft' very quickly via a home screen widget or even Siri or something. And then I could go in and edit it later to set the bucket it comes from etc.

- It has no good way to do long term savings - you can create a goal bucket for it but the bars etc for it become kind of meaningless.

No one wants to take the time to learn the hard native UI development processes, so we just wind up throwing some shitty angular SPA application into electronjs and calling it a day.

That's partly because the native development processes are so unnecessarily awkward, particularly on Apple platforms. It's also partly because most native development processes only give you software that runs on one platform at the end.

Those of us with non-sloth-like reflexes now have to experience torture as every keypress or mouse click takes an extra 50-100ms to register.

Well, that's just bad programming. There's nothing about web technologies or Electron-based applications that requires such poor performance. Someone who has managed to design a system where the most simple interactions take 100ms to get a response would probably manage to create an uncomfortably laggy experience if they built native applications too.
That is such a lame, played-out excuse. A real favorite of apologists for shitty UI design.
NPR seems to use Reddit post/commemts for lots of it's stories. Yesterday some redditor posted about Alaska's large (and sweet) vegetables and not 10 hours later NPR published an article on the topic. I notice NPR using reddit for story leads at least a few times a week.
Their updated estimate is similar to ones from Iceland (mass testing) and others. More people than expected go trough the disease without symptoms. At least 50%.

The math goes as follows:

- 60% need to be infected for herd immunity.

- At least 50% of infected show no symptoms.

- CFR is 0.7%.

0.6×0.5×0.007 = 0.002

(This math assumes that everyone without symptoms is a diagnosed case, so overestimte)

My Favorite Books to Learn Python in Depth
That's very subjective, and not at all related to the point I was making. It wasn't about the niceness of GUIs.

Over the last decade, we have experienced a sharp loss of control and had certain entities become almost absolute dictators over how Linux systems are permitted to be run and used.

Linux started out quite clunky and unpolished. It could be made polished if you wanted that. But nothing was mandatory. Now that's changed. A modern mainstream Linux distribution gives you about the same control over your system that Windows provides. In some cases, even less. Given its roots in personal freedom, ultimate flexibility, and use as glue that could slot into all sorts of diverse uses, I find the current state of Linux to be an nauseating turn off.

And I say that as someone who has used Linux for 24 years, and used to be an absolute Linux fanatic.
Kiwi Browser is now 100% open-source (including Chrome Extensions support)
Hey jnfr!

Your app is definitely what I envision for mine.
Website and all that is absolutely amazing! Congrats!

My app is "similar" in some ways but, of course, in a very small scale at the moment (still in development: live for me, wife and a couple of friends).

This is what I've got so far:

- Web version only

- Multi currency is a must for me too (Brazilian living in Europe here)

- Looking at the screenshots of your app, I also have the "category listing" by percentage. I don't look at it on a daily basis but I think it's important to at least have some control over stuff I'm spending my money with.

- Under the hood, I share the same "account" (but different user credentials) with my wife so we both leverage saving transactions wherever we are, together.

- I've also got historical transactions. It's the only way I found how to identify where my money is going over time.

- No "budgeting" per se: I understand how some folks need to spare X amount of money for "Groceries" or "Travel".. and as some have already pointed out, I don't want to be on day 20th of the month and running out of budget for a specific category and not being able to keep spending if I have to. For a customer point of view, it would bring me "frustration" by simply checking that I'm below budget on the next month. Again, I value that, but I'm fine with my finances.

For now, I'm not sure how I can make money out of it. I'm strongly thinking about simply releasing it, getting feedback and improve along the way. I don't want to be a competitor of yours and I'm more than happy that list your app as an alternative if necessary as soon as I go live!

Again, congratulations. I want to be a solo entrepreneur in the future. I'm not just there yet.

Thanks for your insights and good luck with your product!

In the Netherlands with about 3.5k deaths on 17 M pop the estimation for infection rate is 3%, based on tests done on people giving blood. I'm not certain whether that 3% is an under- or overstatement (people giving blood usually more active than average, but also younger than the average inflicted and you won't go in when actively ill). It's a long stretch from a 3% to anywhere near herd protection though. The 40% infection rate for Sweden seems too high.

Swede here. There is lots of disinformation about the Swedish approach to the epidemic. Sweden is following the same basic strategy as other countries, which is to slow down the spread by mitigating actions so the health care system can cope and to protect people in risk groups. The primary difference in Sweden compared to outher countries are:

* Sweden decided early on that an evidence-based approach should be followed. Many policies that are implemented in other countries do not have a lot of evidence showing their effectiveness

* Policy is still primarily dictated by the experts at Folkhälsomyndigheten (where Anders Tegnell is from), and not by politicians. Most actions taken by the Swedish government has been pretexted by "as requested by FHM we have...". State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell is generally seen as "being in charge" of the actions taken, even though technically he has very little legal authority.

* Sweden has a very strong history of indepenent government bodies. In Sweden, there is specific legislation preventing government officials from intervening in specific cases if there is a government authority in charge of the issue. The legal term for this is "ministerstyre", "ministerial rule", and even if an action is not technically in violation of this legislation, it is often used if politicians try to intervene in cases without creating general legislation.

* Being a high-trust society some measures that have been implemented as strict laws in countries other than Sweden are instead communicated as recommendations with a very high compliance rate.

> Predicting the coronavirus was equally hard

No, it's mainly not. The problem is people assume tomorrow is going to be like today and yesterday (for all problems, not just this one). Add to that that people don't like hearing unpleasant news and will tune it out. Net result: they ignore it and when pushed will start to deny it. You can add on top that rare newspaper editors that do recognise a risk will not want to piss off their readership by telling them the truth (or a or probably future occurrence) that they will get angry at. Give the people what they want, not what they need.

For covid, I started stockpiling a bit of food etc. about a month before anyone else. My calculation was, this is likely to happen but may not. If things kick off I may need it. If they don't, I eat it anyway. There's no downside. (Incidentally I did the same ~2007 before the crash for the same reason. Turned out unnecessary then).

What happened when I told people about covid usually follows 2 particular patterns 1) "No don't be stupid, it's not that bad" - simple denial. 2) they stare at you full-face on, totally expressionless for about 2 or 3 seconds, they turn their head away, exhale, turn back and start talking about something else as if what you'd said never happened - blanking it. It's a curious, quite consistent response when it happens.

We get all the warning we need, the majority of people just don't want to know. QV. climate change, carrington events, epidemics (we had plenty of epidemiologists saying When not If), financial crashes. It's all there if you want to know.
