This will never be settled. I know professional developers who regard the recursion section of their algorithms classes as academic masturbation and a waste of time because you should write an iterative version in the "real world" for performance reasons. I can't even get them to agree in the case of tail-recursion because "why trust the compiler to optimise that?".
>over 50% immunity. //

As you say "the" disease I assume you mean Covid19, not just a future disease. AFAIAA is not been shown that recovered (or long-term asymptomatic) cases are immune and there's some suggestion that at least a few people don't have immunity after recovery. I think I'd stick with "at 50% infection rate".

But then if at 50% infection rate you've had 0.2% death rate (seems to be about the right order for confirmed deaths+anticipated numbers of not confirmed {ie excess deaths during the period of the diseases spread}, in UK) then testing might save huge numbers of deaths.

The death rate in the second half of the population I'd expect to be higher, they include those with pre-existing conditions (including the more elderly) who isolated early, testing of the caregivers and families will be very important.

> In reality, if you want to actually make a serious, usable and comfortable GUI, there is no cross-platform solution

Qt? Tk? I've used both cross-platform and both work great for desktop operating systems (and unlike in the olden days, Tk's themed widgets actually look reasonably native now). Qt's only downside is the licensing and the sheer size of it, and Tk's only downside (for my use cases) is the lack of an embeddable browser widget; in both cases these are issues regardless of platform.

The actual cross-platform issues, from what I've seen, are more to do with the non-GUI pieces. For example, Windows and macOS/Linux printing are wildly different from one another, and all three operating systems have wildly different strategies for packaging and distributing applications (especially when writing the program in a scripting language like Python or Ruby or what have you instead of something precompiled like C++ or Rust; with Linux this is trivial, and with macOS this is less trivial but manageable, but with Windows this is a royal pain in the ass).

On another note, I'm currently looking into Avalonia and .NET Core as another potential option in this space; from preliminary testing, .NET Core looks like it mostly addresses the issues I've encountered (it certainly makes it easy to cross-compile for Windows/Mac/Linux, and I'm hoping it'll eventually subsume Xamarin or portions thereof to enable easy Android and iOS builds, too), so whether or not this becomes my go-to hinges on whether or not Avalonia itself is ready for primetime (and while simple examples seem to be promising, as are more complex examples like the Avalonia version of ILSpy, I'm still actively investigating).
If you have to do that for every sensor the cost goes up a lot. Also, "stochastic plasmonic features" without knowing much more sounds like something that varies by time of day, wind currents in the lab, whether you hit it ten minutes ago with a socket wrench or didn't.
> the court of appeal extended the list of allowed items to include, among other things, high tech and IT goods. The court also significantly reduced the fines in case of non compliance from €1 million to €100,000 per unauthorized item "received, prepared and/or shipped."

Edit: The federal reserve is going to default, not the federal government. They are not the same.

The central banks don't want the US to default. They want countries who are in debt to implement austerity programs and raise taxes on citizens. If the US defaults, other countries might just get the same idea.

All these stimulus checks and forgivable small business loans are returning a little bit of the stolen money back into the pockets of Americans before the restructure. Why not withdraw all the cash from your bank accounts before filing bankruptcy?

> Chrome uses CLD3 to perform language detection on all webpages. This language detection is generally very accurate. Chrome will override the language detection if there is a language attribute on the HTML tag or a language specified in the HTTP content-language header.

> However, both these signals are often incorrectly specified by the site/page, and in particular many non-English sites report the language as English (presumably based on default values from authoring tools, etc.) Currently a whitelist is used to determine if the detected language should always override the language attribute / content-language.

Destroying the petro-dollar was critical to breaking the central bank rule. You can't back money with oil right now. What's the current price per barrel of oil again?

Selling off the US petroleum reserve helped force the glut of oil on the market. Trump unloaded it when oil was high, and now he's refilling the tank with super cheap crude. Heck, every tanker in the world is trying to get their oil into the US petroleum reserve right now.

What do you back money with if not gold?

You all think Trump is a bumbling idiot but you are going to feel gut punched after he's played his hand. And, he hasn't even broken suit to trump his opponent yet!

One thing that’s been omitted is the :dir() pseudoclass[1] which has been inexplicably ignored by Webkit and Blink.

i feel you, jwr. at my previous startup i've developed everything with clojurescript. our dashboard, our browser plugin, our react native app was all cljs except for the api which i built with django.

thanks to clojurescript, i was able to build all these tools so fast and clean, we had a lot of time to work on the business itself. we failed to find a product market fit though.

to every new founder out there who always wanted to try clojurescript, if you are going to work on a client application and love react, i cannot stress enough how easy and fast it is to develop with clojurescript and re-frame.

COVID-19 tracing is an entirely different problem from buying a new phone because you don't get updates. And if you want control over what your phone sends to the mothership, you need to actually take control and either install a different OS or root it, that is not new with COVID-19 and also not a planned obsolesce / buy new phone thing.
Viruses don't usually do any damage to the body. It's the immune system's response to virus that causes damage. The immune system releases chemicals into the blood stream (inflammation) and the increase of these chemicals in the blood reduces oxygen transport. If left unchecked, these chemicals can cause sepsis, and the lack of oxygen causes organ failure, and that is how a virus becomes lethal. These inflammatory chemicals produced by your immune system are what gets trapped in the lungs as pneumonia, which causes other issues. So controlling inflammation and reducing the viral population is the key to survival.

The reason why I applied to Cornell, CMU, and UPenn was that they all have strong PL departments.

CMU offers an undergraduate PL concentration where you learn FP and constructive math: https://csd.cs.cmu.edu/academics/undergraduate/principles_of... I believe I really would have benefitted from this.

The fact is that being a prestigious or elite school often goes hand-in-hand with having good professors and research. There is a certain unfairness, but it seems inherent that a "better" university would naturally have more resources and more professors would come there. But, we should have more top-level universities to accommodate more people. After all, top colleges are always claiming that they have to turn down qualified applicants every year.
Well yes and no... This is coming from a person that just replaced a 25 year old car with a brand new one.
In general a car is a car. Other than maintenance, a car from ages ago will get you around just fine.
But there have been a ton of improvements both in safety and comfort. Today's car is much safer than one from twenty years ago. More fuel efficient, and more comfortable.

In recent years navigation has become standard, that is probably the single biggest obvious difference in the last 20 years.

One problem is the competitiveness of the dream. If one is good at computers & math, and wants to go to college to do computers and math so they can contribute more computers and math to society, well the admissions committee mentally sticks them in the oversized pile of computer/math nerds who are all also overachievers at computers & math. And never mind that industry desperately wants these skills, academia is a warped place with its own agendas.

AI/Machine Learning are likely similarly competitive goals currently. No sure about biology, but the connection to medicine probably means it is a similarly problematic choice.

Another big issue could be the reasons behind your plans. Was it an extroverted story of benefiting society with your new skills, or an introverted story of learning about stuff that excites you for its own sake?
The notebook from Belarus has the inscription тетрадь which, the internet tells me, reads "tetrad'" and means, well, "notebook".

I find that funny. In greek, "ΤΕΤΡΑΔΙΟ", spelled almost identically and pronounced "tetradio" is, also, the notebook.

The root of the word seems to be the Greek word for a "quad" (four things) i.e. "tetrada". I had always wondered why we use this word for notebooks- what are the "four things" it's named after? I'm more curious now that I see Belarussians also use a similar word for their notebooks.

Craig Murray? No he is a blogger, thus well inside the definition of a reporter in this web era. If you prefer I would change reporter into blogger. He is also a former diplomate, but that does not matter for this news.

Quoting Craig Murray:

"Then on Tuesday morning, a large Police van full of police pulled up onto the pavement right outside my front gate, actually while I was talking on the phone to a senior political figure about the raid on my friend. The police just sat in the van staring at my house. I contacted my lawyers who contacted the Crown Office. The police van pulled away and my lawyers contacted me back to say that the Crown Office had told them I would be charged, or officially “cited”, with Contempt of Court, but they agreed there was no need for a search of my home or to remove my devices, or for vans full of police."

Be that as it may, Dr. Marlene, the maker of the Smart Blood Sugar manage, says that glucose is a moment type of vitality which is scorched rapidly and places individuals in a ceaseless pattern of high vitality and vitality crashes. The better method for moving toward vitality upkeep is to let your body utilize fat, rather than glucose.

This site says that fat not just gives a steadier type of vitality without the accidents, however once you can prepare your body to consume fat as a vitality source, it will have the option to consume your put away fat as vitality, bringing about weight reduction.

What happened here is that the admins measured the thing that is easy for them to measure: the load.

Nah, you have it completely backwards. If the users said “this specific job took 5 minutes today but was only 1 minute yesterday”, that’s actionable, you can e.g look at what changes were deployed overnight.

But users always say “the system is slow”, even if they have only the vaguest idea of what “the system” is, and even if it’s actually faster than yesterday. It’s not really clear what any sysadmin can do other than spending hours every day painfully extracting the details from the user only to find nothing is wrong. Every day, forever.
