These analysis are based on data provided by the countries. While they all may provide mortality as a number at some point, some may not already do so in the interval needed to draw accurate comparisons over the last two months. For example: I find the difference between England/Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland to be strange. I'd expect these to be closer together.

Also, what's up with so many websites being built in a way that makes "open in new tab"/middle click impossible?
This problem is exacerbated by the fact that clicking "back", either in the browser or in the webpage, doesn't remember your position in the previous page.

I never said it wasn't, My comment was on the requirements leading to the most stripped down possible design that still functioned.
Sure there's a place for these engines. They abstract away graphics layers and bring convenience. But if you are a (semi-?) professional game dev, that's not a major hurdle.

I have a toy game in play around in my free time and started with SDL like so many. You can create windows and draw bitmaps really easily. But sooner rather than later you discover limits (bugs, performance limitations, less than ideal APIs) and see that just writing OpenGL code yourself is actually easier and more flexible. Many people go down that road.

edit: Concerning your edit about "more than a renderer": Yeah that other stuff is annoying and many still use SDL, SFML or whatever for that. See Factorio and many many others who do the rendering themselves and offload the other crap. I do that myself too.
Is there anything promising at the treatment front right now? My impression is that there was an initial group of candidates for repurposing that have on closer investigation all turned out to be not quite as helpful as hoped.
Oh yeah, I know, but I expect that from a big electron app and it asked me if I wanted to opt out on first launch. This is the same way Firefox and many other respectable programs do it and I see no problem with that.

But putting it in a shell with no prompt and only an unset environment variable to disable it, that's more like the Microsoft we all know.
I'm guessing the A/B functionality was being used as a Blue-Green deployment system.
To add to this: just because you're not coughing or sneezing when you leave the house doesn't mean you'll stay that way throughout your quarantine-breaking excursion among the public. This is especially relevant for seasonal allergy sufferers like myself.

Might as well just assume that you'll probably end up needing to cough or sneeze at some point and just wear the mask.
> ISPs or dark fiber providers have detailed maps aligning with road networks.

Most of the time. I worked a summer for Virgin (UK) basically digging holes to run cables.

I'd say 1 in every 6-7 jobs we dug the hole and found no existing Virgin inf. in the ground. You'd have to come back the next day hopefully with better information to try again.
> I'm going to posit that a video game is the three following things

In other words: Action from the player delivers result from the game, giving the player a sense of satisfaction.

And that's the point. There is a direct correlation between action and satisfaction. The more challenging and complex your action is, the higher can be the satisfaction when you finally get a good result.

And that's why people see Animal Crossing as kinda pointless, because everything is so simple, there is no complexity in action, thus no high satisfaction as direct response. Instead there is the very long game, where you do many many small actions over a rather long time to gain some rather small or middle sized result, while you have many many more mechanisms where the result is simple just random.

For people who are fixed on shortterm direct satisfaction, this is bad, because it's a slow longterm process with little outcome. It's basically like an extrem-sportler who needs to find the joy in just walking through the park.
> subsequent administration didn't maintain the institution

Remdesivir seems promising, also variolation, also plasma therapy (IVIG).

Currently the lockdown makes sense for one reason, to get something that at least makes it seasonal flu-deadly (about 5-10 times less than currently).
Yet many companies are in a craze to go to cloud and outsource every bit of competence which isn't a core product.
> What's an acceptable death rate look like for you?

We make arbitrage like this when setting pollution laws, or speed limits. The issue here is that we don't know the cost of flattening the curve. We know that GDP is strongly correlated with life expectancy, and the loss of GDP worldwide will have important sanitary impact, but it's hard to quantify this.

That being said, I'm not saying we shouldn't try to flatten the curve. Considering we don't have the data to make the right decision, we use a greedy algorithm. But I'm quite convinced that we'll be worse off in the long term. Incidentally, we choosing to save old people over poor people.

Middle class people don't need to steal copper because other forms of theft are available to them.

I'm not saying "most drug addicts steal". I'm saying "a small number of addicts can create huge amounts of crime".

When we look at acquisitive crime we see an over-representation of people with addiction - to substances or gambling - who are stealing money to feed their addiction. For some people that's theft of copper, for others it's defrauding the company they work for.

This is a problem that many systems find hard to fix, especially with current drug laws.

Why President Trump is wrong about WHO
Have you accounted for the human suffering caused by the loss of those lives on the survivors? How many jobs is that worth?
Then you will face the same problems that GPUs suffer from. Extremely high latency and constrained memory bandwidth. Sending an array with 100 elements to the GPU is rarely worth it. However, processing that array with vector instructions on the CPU is going to give you exactly the speedup you need because you can trivially mix and match scalar and vector instructions. I personally dislike GPU programming because GPUs are simply not flexible enough. Either it runs on a GPU or it doesn't. ML runs well on GPUs because graphics and ML both process big matrices. It's not like someone had an epiphany and somehow made a GPU incompatible algorithm run on a GPU (say deserializing JSON objects). They were a perfect match from the beginning.

According to wikipedia HVDC lines can get to 3%/1000km losses, so that should be 12%-13% losses from NY to LA. Electrical losses are not the problem in continental US. It's the cost of building/maintaining infrastructure and being able to organize to do it.
AC has both external ("pay off your loan to expand your house", "expand the village population", "fill the museum") and internal ("I want a house full of XYZ furniture that coordinates with my outfits", "I want a garden of fruit trees", etc) goals.

You have agency - there's no penalty for not expanding your house or visiting other islands, etc.

The mechanics do restrict what's possible but then I can't think of a game (except perhaps Dwarf Fortress or real-life RPGs) where they don't.

And there's very little real-world relevance beyond, I suppose, "don't be a dick and life is easier for everyone."
Not OP but: local media in Eastern Europe bash Sweden hard with TV news pieces showing open shops and restaurants, people in groups etc, while here in Serbia we’re in complete lockdown. This also makes me feel like Sweden doesn’t care, but again, I have no first hand info except what TV and Reddit tell me. This might be OPs “source”.

I’m not sure if it’s possible to have an earnest conversation about that when one party can easily claim the moral high ground by expressing outrage that the other party might not be willing to go to literally all costs to save a single life.

If you already have all the answers, Kierkegaard would definitely be of little interest for you.
True, but that outlook depends a lot on age, life experience and other factors; a lot of people will agree with you unless it's their own life/family.

Also; por qué no los dos? The USA has enough money and resources (and billionaires) to save the lives + not have the suffering (basic income/welfare). That they choose not to might not be the concern of the people who voted for those things but got Trump; they don't want their lives or loved ones to be chosen over 'jobs/economy' just because the people in power are overly greedy and short-sighted.

I noticed an omission on this list was Minecraft. Today, the game of course has thousands of engineers working on the various versions of the game due to its success. But in the beginning (and throughout Alpha/Beta and during the beginning years of its 1.0 development) it was built on a hacked-together Java LIBJDX 2.0-based engine.

Here's the first video uploaded by Notch when he first embarked on a new "Cave game": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMpv5kZ9-rE (the original video is blocked in the US for some reason)

An interesting side-effect of this technical decision was that the game was heavily moddable. Java byte code is relatively easy to decompile, and class files easily modularize the various components of the game. So installing a mod amounted to un-zipping the minecraft.jar file and replacing .class files with modded ones. In fact, this is still how modding works in the Java version of the game.

Vox, of course, won't point this out because it doesn't fit their narrative.
The danger here, as usually is concentration of too much power in one hands. That is why we have replaced monarchies with democracies mostly.

Ultra wealthy individuals are basically able to circumvent democratic political process to reach disproportionate influence unilaterally. While political establishment has some kind of check and balances (in theory) in place, super wealthy can act in a way they see fit unchecked.

I'm responding to this not for you, but for others. You should know that what you've just said indicates a disgusting train of thought not characterised by any good intention.

--

The issue when talking about the long term affects is that, you're right, we don't have enough information. However that doesn't mean we should sit on our hands and do nothing.

The whole point of humans recording history (and science is mostly just trying things and writing them down so we can build on this knowledge later) is to see patterns and conclude things.

There's all kinds of misinformation that can spread in the cracks here because only history will tell us the real truth, but drawing on similarly infectious diseases from history will help significantly.

It's not 'ascientific' to draw from the corpus of scientific knowledge. It is ascientific to say: "This disease is completely unknown so we should wait until the human death toll has reached critical mass before making an action which could impact our wealth".

For the sake of the parent, there are studies on the loss of population and if we lose 1-2% of the population in the span of a few months then indeed that will recess the economy quite sharply.[0]

In case you forgot, economy is the quantity and value of transactions in a market. Less people is lower quantity.

From the admittedly little we know about the disease, it is much more deadly than anything that's currently making the rounds. (If you're going to rebut me please control for number of people infected, because it's a common misconception that "more people die of other things" but that's because "other things" are affecting more people)

Good pedestrian navigation (which needs pedestrian road/pathway networks that haven't been built to the same extent as they have for roads, though in some countries like Japan they are much better) doesn't need constant interaction.
You'd just be wearing your regular headset and you'd occasionally hear "at the next intersection, take the traffic light on your left, cross the road and continue down xxx street"
Rationality is overvalued for day to day life. It works for certain things like science, where you are lead by the evidence and you constantly adjust some model of understanding of reality to more accurate standards, but it really don't seem to work well for everything in one's life. The reason is that we operate under deeply unscientific environments like partial-information, uncertainty and unpredictability. In these environments 'intuition' that might not be backed by rational thought is frequently more valuable. Technically you can try to be always rational in your life and play the 'risk minimization' game, but you will probably have a very mediocre life with limited success.

> a question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly when we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting, right? And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful. Steve, please.

What is your interpretation of "And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside"? I mean, it's kind of gibberish, not full sentences where one concept is logically related to another, but what do you think it means? Do you think it's a responsible thing to say after the deaths of people from self-administered chloroquine? Do you not think it refers to injections of disinfectant?

Of course, part of how this tactic works is that for any interpretation I can offer you can say "that's not what he said/meant", because what he said is incoherent.
