Guessing from time of post and “social security” this is US west coast. California appears to be one of the most supportive states re criminal records, with programs and favorable rules.

At this moment of working from home, consider a temporary housing situation in a less expensive part of the Central Valley, connect him up with services, get him settled in. Then, when things open up again, your friend could consider opportunities on the coast and still be close enough to help her father if needed.

There are many non-profits involved with housing, some specializing in disabilities (dementia should qualify), and able to provide info and referrals. They can guide you through and into government programs. It’s definitely a time of crisis, and they will be overwhelmed right now, but be patient and they can and will be able to help.

Compassion feels right. You have to be able to look at yourself in a mirror. But you shouldn’t have to give up your dreams either. The middle path is hard, it can drag you down, but it can also give you strength and ideas.

TLDR: Take interim steps, seek assistance, look for a path.

Well it’s not the concept but the implementation that is at fault. From persistent random WinRM failures, sudden things breaking and the whole thing wrapping rancid bits of WMI and COM which leak through regularly, it’s just pain. On top of that the interface is somewhat flakey and slow. Plus some of the semantics feel like going back to circa 1995 Perl. Oh and don’t get me started on the nightmare that is script signing and security which really does nothing useful other than get in the way.

Me neither. The basic standard pasta dish in the eighties and nineties in the Netherlands was macaroni or spaghetti with bolognese sauce topped with lots of grated Gouda cheese.

These days there is much more variety, and judging from the popularity of the many varieties of pasta and cheeses such as Pecorino and Parmesan in the supermarkets, many Dutch household have discovered the joys of cooking proper Italian pasta dishes. Plenty of folk here do use store-bought packages for the sauce of course, but these tend to focus on adding flavour to the meat and vegetables (tomato) that serve as the bulk of the sauce (like bolognese).

Frankly, the classic US mac-and-cheese dish looks disgusting. I can only imagine how it must look to someone with an Italian heritage.

A handful of downvotes yet no comments except @millstone's (thanks!).

Why?
Some things make no sense whatsoever though. Processor architectures only matter because CPU companies can't just add their competitors' ISA to their own chips. Nividia and Transmeta experimented with processors that contained all the features necessary for x86 or ARM support and then simply used a software JIT to convert ARM and x86 to an internal VLIW architecture. Translation from one instruction set to another is already a solved problem. The real problems are that some architectures are fundamentally different e.g. the memory model in x86 vs ARM. You can solve it by simply including both memory models in your universal CPU. The only thing that is standing in the way of this are the darn patents.
This is so much effort put into destroying something that probably nobody really had the time to digest and understand.Myself included.

I don't think that this is going to be true. I think it is pretty clear that population is going to fall from mid century on. It may fall very fast at the tail end of this century the current crop of young adults die. It looks like real fertility rates (the actual incidence of people having babies has fallen and continues to fall).
They might as well just cut out the middle man and check all videos with the Chinese Communist Party.
Even for 2D games, if you have a dedicated art team, or a level designer team separate from a programming team, having an engine interface that allows each of these participants to do their own stuff without having to edit code is a massive boost in productivity.

No, the reason for the lockdowns was to increase the chance that people will find care in the hospitals.

I shudder at the thought of a government locking people up because a treatment might, at some point in the future, be found.

It is of course besides the point but I find it extremely optimistic to expect that a treatment can be found that will significantly reduce deaths when deaths mostly occur in patients of very advanced age or with significant underlying conditions.

life is the superset of all possible experiences. If any element has a property (i.e. is deep) it will be contained within life.

I don't think anyone is trying to take anything away from your tragedy, but we are discussing semantics. Life can be "not very deep" and still be the deepest thing in existence, by definition.

This. You can can’t relocate certain products just because there’s more elsewhere. This does not work with all kinds of produce (it does for some but quality and taste go down fast).
In other cases you can technically do that, but it’s not sustainable cost-wise.
I'm sure self-validation plays a large part, but the other reason is because local critics of lockdown are using Sweden (which at least here in Southern Europe is generally associated with good governance, as opposed to ours) as an argument for their side. So even people who agree with you that it's too early to tell from the numbers, but who think the lockdown is in theory the best approach, feel forced to write stuff showing how bad things are going for them.
I think they have a 5 year limit on data. https://www.euromomo.eu/how-it-works/methods

> Mortality baseline is modelled using a glm poisson corrected for over dispersion. The model is fitted on valid historical period as defined by the user, with a maximum of 5 years,

I don't know why they impose this limit. I'm guessing there's something about population drift over time in there.

They also changed the way they work in 2016: https://www.euromomo.eu/about-us/history

That's not really true. 1957 "Asian Flu" resulted in > 1 million deaths, and 1968 "Hong Kong Flu" resulted ~1 million deaths. Difficult to compare viruses directly, but I would say those were in the vicinity of something like covid-19, which has not yet resulted in even 200k deaths, but certainly had the potential to kill millions of people. (and may yet...)

A lack of jobs can create dead people, whether through crime or through an inability to afford healthcare or shelter or food.

Swine Flu originated in the US, right? Wouldn't that be another case of an outbreak starting in a country that is rich and powerful enough to make the WHO look the other way instead of doing its job to mitigate the risk of a pandemic?

Unless the pollution was incredibly concentrated, wouldn't the effects show much later?
To be clear, I fully support Strict social distancing and think the idea of their being a trade-off between government policy on the matter and economic performance is off-base. People will social distance whether the government tells them to or not, and if the pandemic worsens substantially then the economic impact will be even worse. That is to say that the best thing to do from both a lives saved AND an economic perspective is to contain the pandemic to a manageable level. </br>

> It would be really nice to know how many engineers are working on the engine division for each company, I'm sure there would be some big surprises, probably by the low number of engineers working in the engine and tools!

When I worked for Free Radical Design we had two big AAA games in development both using the FRD in-house custom game engine. I'd say the engineer split was something like 30:30:30 between engine and the two games, with another split between engine programming and tool programming (though there was some cross over there, for example one of the guys on the game team I was on worked on the game editor). The engine was really impressive - it was cross platform and ran on *Nix, Windows, XBox 360 and PS3. The engine guys did an amazing job on it.

> Another game many would call pointless

As far as I know it can become quite complex and deep. More complex than Animal Crossing.

> But at the same time, the game is extremely relaxing. The music, the ambiance, the story, all make you rest. And that's the goal of the game.

I thought the goal is building up your farm and collecting all the bundles and achivments?
I guess at the end the goal depends on the player. Which is the point, whether it's pointless depends on the satisfaction the player gains from playing.

> There's near zero complexity here.

I find them quite challenging.
Yes, from the mechanical point they are simple, but execution-level is still rather high depending on your personal skill.

Animal Crossing is similar. For a kid it might be challenging enough to do all those stuff and things, for a teenager or adult, it's just braindead dialog-clicking with no challenge in excecution at all. The satisfaction comes over time.
> Suicides should be on the uptick.

could go both ways really. If you are stuck at home with your old folks (probably the case for young people at risk of suicide right now), much less chance to commit suicide with total privacy in the current circumstances.

Also, there's usually less suicides when things go really bad in the society at large, because it puts things in perspective more than any other time in terms of human suffering.

>this is an outright lie, given that the sheer number of people by that point who were hospitalized with the virus without ever having visited the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market would be, I would argue, evidence.

Oh yes, the random programmer who know public health better than actual public health experts. You have not done the research, you were not there. You can argue it's evidence, but arguing something is, is not enough. There are many different ways of transmission, secondly the Huanan Seafood Market was suspected as a source of the virus but it could have come from somewhere else too.
> I'd say that having a (buggy) in house integration with Salesforce is a way bigger tech debt than using AppFlow here.

That assumes that the AppFlow code is not buggy. In my experience these services are very hit and miss. This might be a good one, but it's impossible to tell until you use it (or read experience reports of others using it). Reliable 3rd party services can be a big time saver, but Unreliable/Buggy/Limited 3rd party services can easily take 5x more time than something in-house.
But that isn't the case at all - Sweden is under-reporting the number of Covid-19 deaths by a significant amount, where the excess deaths minus the reported covid-19 deaths show a large deviation.
Here's an article (in Swedish) about the statistical anomaly:

https://www.dn.se/nyheter/kraftigt-okat-antal-avlidna-i-pand...

There's strong pressure within Sweden to present the herd-immunity strategy as successful, especially considering the huge difference in deaths-per-million compared to our neighboring Nordic countries. There's always existed a very strong competitive streak in Sweden's relationship with its immediate neighbors, and the spotlight of international attention has escalated that - even at the cost of human lives.
> So I'm not sure if the net effect of the lockdown on mortality is actually expected to be positive or negative.

Wouldn't this kind of graphs precisely answer the question, since deaths are not just related to COVID19 only?
It might seem odd but I had a profound philosophical awakening playing Nier: Automata. You 'experience' Kierkegaard's philosophy in the game along with other philosophies which could be spoilers if anyone decides to play it.

I almost didn't play the game, I passed on it a few times until SkillUp (a YouTuber I respect) did a video on it entitled "The Masterpiece You (Probably) Won't Play" (https://youtu.be/-NiyfG8Ctbo).

Oh to be in Sweden, they'll come out of the other end of this without the multi-generational crippling debt that the rest of the world has chosen, and they're currently sitting in the sunshine sipping a beer (suitably distanced, of course).
> a) there were way more deaths in 2018 and 2019 than were expected

Flu season every winter brings excess mortality. Also very hot summers, but there's less of a pattern.

> b) b) despite Covid-19, the excess mortality still hasn't caught up with 2018 levels

You are missing a big factor: COVID is not behind us, and this excess mortality is happening DESPITE a lockdown, which never happens for regular flu seasons.
>That's a very strong and very stupid claim.

Alright, show us some peer reviewed studies, preferably a meta-analysis, that shows it's stupid.

I still like the clarity of Plato, where harmony is the basis of health, happiness, wellbeing, virtue, justice and the good. He describes harmony in the individual, in society and in the cosmos. For instance, when there is harmony in the parts of the soul (reason, appetite and passion) a person is virtuous and happy.

Obviously much more can be said -- especially considering that harmony is found in the tension of opposing forces -- but that's a remarkably enduring approach
