The data doesn't support any of this. Overlaying the R0 estimation and the date that interventions were taken shows that the original "stay home when sick, wash hands and don't shake" advise had the biggest effect. This also matches most research that has been done on influenza.
The lockdown on schools and restaurants had a much lower effect.https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/corona-onder-co...
Twenty-odd years ago, I saw a tv ad for the drug Paxil. It was about social anxiety disorder. Didn’t know that was a thing, so I never looked into fixing it.

Talked to my doctor about it. Got a prescription, took the medication for several years. It changed my life for the better.
"Hollywood accounting" isn't designed to cheat anyone. It has been used to do so in the past, mostly decades ago. Slight difference.

It refers to the fact that a film as an enterprise is designed as an independent business with equity held by a few investors, and the enterprise gets dissolved when the film finishes post production. It's the only financial model that actually makes sense when you consider how a film is made and by whom. A small group of money people front a large amount of capital to pay hundreds to thousands of subcontractors up front to create an asset with intangible value, and they split the rights to that asset when they're done. Some of the subcontractors gets something that looks like equity, most don't.

It is a source of problems and inefficiencies. But to me the big issues lie before pre and after post, a lot of the work and structure of businesses during the creation of a film is pretty well honed and workers do have different kinds of power than most employees in traditional environments.

Also films are totally different than television and other media, at least financially. Studios work differently than networks.

That doesn't really answer much, can you be more specific?

Why is it poorly implemented, what are the problems?

Who is the competitor, and why is it better? (Guix?)

What are the philosophical issues?

How is the community toxic and obnoxius?

Personally there are a few things that annoy me about Nix, mostly implementation and documentation wise. Also, the language is pretty odd and the CLI UX is somewhat messy.

But the community (IRC / Discourse) has been pretty helpful for me thus far.
The ABC is reporting that the server must store data in Australia and the data cannot be transferred overseas.
Your very articulate derision - of your own ability to articulate yourself - gave me a good laugh.
Agile, as commonly encountered nowadays, is mostly just cargo cult. People chasing dogma and buzzwords with zero understanding of why and when it has great application and benefits. Just like so many other trends in the past.

Way too easy to "seem" productive while actually being net negative for the project.

That said, I've had excellent agile projects that have delivered huge value to the customer at cost and time well below initial estimates.

These days I ask people who shout for agile to actually explain the fundamentals to me, as though I have no clue. Very rarely do I find anyone who can hit even one of the four original core ideas and values of "agile":

https://agilemanifesto.org/

And when I bring up the core ideas, and why they can work really well, I often see that the people who shout agile actually don't agree with the fundamentals.

> But unfortunately *nix programs are not written to support this, so you see lots of hacks in Nix to get things to work.

You might have said the same thing about the Reproducible Builds project [1] early on. It was a project inside Debian, that required a modified toolchain (gcc, autotools, etc.) on top of Debian Unstable; and many individual Debian packages needed patches as well.

Years later, these toolchain changes are now merged not only in main Debian, but also in other distributions and in upstream software.

Comparing Model-Based Testing with Traditional Testing: Empirical Study (2014)
Oh yeah, I doubt you’ll find business class tickets that are anywhere near as cheap as twice the price of the average Ryanair flight, but as someone who is in the lucky situation to be able to avoid airlines that I find actively unpleasant, the price hop from economy to business needn’t be that large. It depends on the airline, route and dates of course, but I’ve seen (and bought) short-haul business class tickets that were less than 150% the price of economy.
Sounds like the opposite effect that it had in the UK.
I think you're missing a variable: point of view.
Give positive points to any feature you find appealing.
Give negative points to any feature you find unappealing.

If you have the person you're speaking to go through the same process, you might find you've assigned points differently. And the net sum might be closer to zero for them. That's what makes going through the entire process unappealing for them.
They said they would release source, but they've distributed the app first, so are in breach.

They also said location would not be used, but

android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION

Can't trust them on things that can be checked; therefore can't trust them on the things that that can't be checked.

I woulda once said something similar, but looking back as the years pass, I can see that was a delusion.
Some missing features (imho):

- overlaying the graphs from the moment of the first case (shifting the data in time)

- ICU beds available/used

- overlay of measures taken (e.g. when did social distancing start)

- easily showing differences in time (e.g. dragging between two dates shows the number of days between them)

They're starting to creep into premium now too. I have Google play music which includes YouTube premium, just checked YouTube on my phone and it immediately showed an advert, even though I'm signed in.
Nix does allow general recursion, no? I haven’t seen any limitations that would prevent it from Turing completeness.
Hi all,
This is just an introduction to this service I released less than one month ago.

The idea behind Skedlo is pretty straightforward, make it very easy for Twitter personal and small business accounts to grow their brands organically, helping them scheduling their content across multiple timezones and monitor their posts performances.

Skedlo offers a variety of features like threads scheduling, only a bunch of other service do that, schedule RTs, flag your favorite tweets and monitor their performances with advanced analytics and charts.

All these features for a very competitive price which starts from $5 a month for the entry tier.

A free 14 days free trial is available!

Would you mind sharing your blog site address? It sounds like it would be interesting read
>> You can release you code as GPL. But you can also release you code however, separately if you want.

OP meant Singapore can dual license.
You're agreeing with the OP. The point they were making was that the Australian government could've gotten the source code under an alternative license by asking the sole copyright holder (which I believe is either the Singaporean government, or a contractor of the Singaporean government).

But to be honest, as an Aussie I don't think our government is remotely competent enough to have considered the copyright license of the code they were using. There were initial reports they would provide the source code of the application, but these promises were quickly revoked for reasons of "national security" or some other such rubbish.

EDIT: I meant to say that it was a bullshit reason such as "national security", not that it was a direct quote. The actual reason they claimed was that it was easier to hack if the source code was public.
Puritans, mostly because of the modern misunderstanding of the term, are blamed for all enforcement of any vice in the United States. I'm saying that the larger society, made up of different religious beliefs, has its own course and its social institutions are not constantly controlled by the "Puritans".

Belgium counts confirmed deaths in hospitals, but also counts suspected deaths outside hospitals -- so it's including care homes and nursing homes.

These deaths can be about 50% of the total deaths.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/24/is-comparing-c...

> But such comparisons can be misleading. Unlike the UK, Italy or Spain, Belgium counts all coronavirus deaths outside hospitals in its daily statistics: deaths in care homes account for 53% of the total. Belgium’s official toll also includes people suspected of having died of coronavirus, without a confirmed diagnosis. Nearly all deaths in care homes (94%) are suspected Covid-19 cases, rather than confirmed – an approach that has led some to complain Belgium is overestimating the number of fatalities.

(They probably aren't over counting. Covid-19 is devastating for nursing homes and care homes).
I recently stumbled on Darch, but decided not to try it because the repo seems pretty dead. (last commit Feb 2019)

Is this a non-issue?
Remember that IFR of a disease alone does not tell you how many people ultimately die from it. The R0 number, which determines how quickly the diseases spread, determines total cases and then cases X IFR = deaths.

My understanding is that Covid-19 has a much higher R0 than the seasonal flu.
the answer is simple: the data is there. you can't compare vietnam and germany on that page - if you can access it. (if i have to signup to read or buy, i'm not really interested. anonymous access used to be possible with paper, and it's still possible today)
I think nobody has all the answers yet, but it looks like the state of your immune system along with age is a key factor.

See https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/30/what-explains-coronaviru...

That could explain why Monaco and Japan have not seen a lot of deaths, while Italy and Spain for example have.

In the US it would help immensely i think, if obesity and hypertension became a focus area when this crisis is over.
do you know how many people lost their houses during the GFC? housing has never been bailed out.

Banks have been bailed out for lending money as mortgages for people who couldn't have ever paid up.
I didn't intend to contradict you. Granted it's totally valid to assume that many people who are tested positive and show no symptoms might develop some later, but I just thought it might be of interest to some people to have numbers where they tested patients twice over a long enough interval to conclude that they really were asymptomatic.
I got an easy A in your course. How would that happen if I weren't paying attention?

By not doing so they are by definition non-compliant.

Or they could have GPLed the entire app; no reason not to have.
The numbers in Portugal (the one I am more familiar with) say otherwise. First health officials when they saw the numbers decreasing said : 'This only proves that indeed what we have been saying for years, people visit the ER for non serious cases' (which to be fair, having an ex-wife that was a paramedic, 1/2 of her calls were non-urgent). Then after the numbers of deaths increased, they changed they words to 'People need to go to the hospital, we can't be afraid of the virus' and now latest thing is 'We will be resuming to normal in hospitals/clinics and people should come for non-urgent related issues'.

But interesting Belgium and Sweden didn't have this discrepancy in number of deaths (COVID vs non COVID). So either our numbers are wrong and more people are dying of COVID than what they tell us, or the lockdown + stoping pretty much every non urgent procedures + telling people to stay at home actually caused more excess deaths than covid itself. But whatever is right, we need to pick one and not keep letting politicians not even admit they may not know/be wrong and keep changing the goal posts when confronted with new information.
I was in a casual virtual meeting with a group of highly educated audience last week, and the question of whether or not we will install the app came up.

As far as I know none of them has a background in computer science or anything related to software development. At least a third of the group immediately said that the won't install the app exactly for the “American company Amazon’s Servers” reason.

I hadn't researched into the topic but I tried to offer an alternative explanation to why those choices were made, but I felt that nobody was even slightly interested in why it might not be as evil as they have been made to think it is.

From irresponsible journalism to untrustworthy governments with hidden agenda, there are too many things that I think lead to people making uninformed decisions. Just throwing this opinion out there because it's something that has been on my mind for a long while, and perhaps something that may resonate with someone else.

Edit: typo (explain --> offer).
I would be curious to hear what others think about it.

The film makes bold claims, but I have trouble locating sources for these claims.

Some are verifiable easily, like Al Gore selling his TV channel to Al Jazeera and thus taking a huge chunk of money coming directly from fossil fuels.

Others are harder to verify: solar panels and wind do cost more energy (fossil/coal) overall to make (from resource extraction at the mine to final product installation) than they will ever make over their lifetime. I found some claims one way or the other for this, but they're not very substantiated either way (ans a lot come from solar panel installer blogpost type of article that say it's not true... well of course they'd say that)

Other parts, unless they were heavily edited, do seem real: asking where the energy comes from to power GM's electric car at their fanfare annoucement and finding out it's coal. Or asking all the leaders for seemingly green lobbying efforts what they think of biomass (basically chopping down the forest arount the power plan to then feed it the trees to produce energy: a huge net waste of energy vs coal or gas or oil) and have them all blank out or don't instantly say they are against it.

So, has anyone any insight on these claims? Where do we stand?

I think the overall message that there is no way exponential growth on a finite planet is anything else than suicide, no matter what theater politics and initiatives we use to hide the fact that we are using up the planet is worth listening to. I'm just analyzing this movie the same way I assess crazy and anti-science claims like 5G is harmful or anti-vaxxers which usually rely on bogus studies, bad science, and plain unfounded claims.
my book[1] is

1) beautiful print book - paid and giveaway

2) paid kindle on amazon

3) DRM free epub, pdf, mobi on gumroad - paid and free

there is a reason for all three cases.

my general agenda is that I wrote the book to a) improve the status quo of the topic (SEO) as it's a horrible b#lls#it driven discepline. and b) to reach new clients. these were the driving factors. the money return from the book is not a main motivator, for this it is too niche, as it targets developers who don't want to suffer under SEO anymore.

ad 1)

so I created a print book that gets displayed in the offices, so that people talk about it, easily share and borrow it. it is a paid product so that it percieved to have inherent value. also I don't want to make a loss with print. but I also give it away at workshops so that it spreads wildely. additonal I hope that in the future I can start from a higher knowledge level and that the knowledge stays longer in the organization.

ad 2)

the kindle store is a strong channel in its own. you can not set the price to zero, so it costs something. even if I promore the free DRM version (see 3) people download it via the kindle store, as it is easier.

ad 3)

DRM free on gumroad. free because DRM sucks. has a pricteag as if it's free($) onlye people might not see it as valueable. free with vouchers, as I regularly promote it via all kind of events.

I set it to 0 for some time in general on gumroad, there was no positive uplift in the long term, so I use promotion vouchers.

I assume city needing to be properly set up for it is a large part of the issue.

Might have become better since, but 10 years back Paris certainly was not, the public transport inside paris was pretty good (though cycling was bad, that I know is getting better at least), but if you came in driving from the suburbs there was no good way to transfer, no "transfer nodes" where you could easily leave your car and hop onto the metro or your bike.

For multi-modal to really work you need easy and cheap ways to transfer between modes, e.g. parking on the edges of the dense public transport network which is either free or included in the transit pass to encourage use, otherwise the incentive is to keep driving inside.
I would say it's positive to not have to drive a car, but having a license and some driving experience is certainly a good thing, even if you don't rely on a car for daily transportation.

Sometimes a rental car/van/truck is the proper tool for a task.
Yes, I thought they said a few days ago that the source code will be made available for scrutiny but this now how its being reported:

"Some, if not all, of the app’s source code will be made public."
The requirement of the GPL is that the user must be able to get the source code if they ask for it, potentially for a small fee to cover the cost of distribution. Contrary to what the document seems to imply, it doesn't mean the source needs to be up on Github. But that is a common method of complying. The document is not really clear if anyone asked them or not or what their response was.

I'm not sure what you mean by philosophical vs practical. The problem is past that point and is really is not related to either of those, it's a legal problem: a user wants the source code, the license says they're entitled to receive it, but the distributor is violating the license by refusing to provide it to the user. Or at least that was my read anyway.
I assume they're talking about the same process you can use to pin nixpkgs. Have a nixpkgs.json with contents like these

{
"url": "https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs-channels.git",
"rev": "ea553d8c67c6a718448da50826ff5b6916dc9c59",
"date": "2020-02-02T15:39:15+01:00",
"sha256": "0g9smv36sk42rfyzi8wyq2wl11c5l0qaldij1zjdj60s57cl3wgj",
"fetchSubmodules": false
}

Then, in nixpkgs.nix have

let
bootstrap = import <nixpkgs> { };
nixpkgs-pin = builtins.fromJSON (builtins.readFile ./nixpkgs.json);

nixpkgs = bootstrap.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "NixOS";
repo = "nixpkgs";
inherit (nixpkgs-pin) rev sha256;
};
in
import nixpkgs

i'm seconding this. not only react native version that re-natal supports is old but also the re-frame & reagent versions it supports are pretty old. shadow-cljs is really a good solution and you can pick it up for react-native projects too.
Put an electronic sign up on each station platform indicating where the cars with most space will be on the next train. Some people will rush to those cars, some will just stay where they were. By varying the amount of notice given or the threshold where you consider a car "less full", you can distribute the travellers more evenly.

I suspect the reason this isn't valuable is that the feedback loop is already pretty good at high occupancy rates: when one car is at capacity, every other car is too.
UI is gorgeous. Anyone happen to know if they're using a charting library?
Agreed! Many of those claims completely disregard the research in visual programming that has happened in the past 30 years. Specifically the idea that it is about visual vs. textual seems utterly outdated now that more and more modern development environments find ways to combine the best of both worlds.

If anyone finds the time to update these claims, please consider our vvvv in your research:
- A visual programming environment for the .NET ecosystem
- Compiles to C# using Roslyn
- Can use code from any .NET library as visual code blocks
- Its language VL augments dataflow with features from OOP and functional programming, supports generics and easy multithreading
- Useful since 2002: https://vimeo.com/371511910

vvvv definitely doesn't solve all known issues but we hope it raises the bar for visual programming and such discussions.

Apple TouchBar and the Real World
Sadly some of the re-evaluation of Gates is due to the bar getting lower and lower, when it comes to corporate governance in the tech space. MCI/Worldcom, Bezos’s ruthless Amazon, Zuckerberg and googlers despising their own users, Jobs squeezing money out of everyone, Larry Ellison being Larry Ellison, and Ballmer being even more of a bully than Gates was...

Yes, the hate for Gates does look a bit naive now. To be fair, at the time there was a huge amount of admiration for him in the mainstream (I still meet people convinced he “invented” this or that software alone in a garage), so the hate was really niche. Hi

A lot of parents I know would not be at all comfortable allowing children under the age of 14 to watch this show (and for older kids only on a case-by-case basis) due to its incredibly violent & sexual content, horrific rapes depicted in detail, and extremely graphic sadism across the board.

Many adults wouldn't begin to consider watching it for these reasons. Sometimes I wish I hadn't.
