Thank you! We'll consider it for the next revision.
I just hate these blogs saying this virus is akin to the the flu. Does the flu leave bodies in trucks, apartments, and bagged on the streets? Does the flu kill dozens of workers in meat processing plants every year. Does the flu take more than ten years of life from the average person it kills?

Also, suicide death rates are still wildly unknown but deaths by traffic fatalities are way down. We need to get help to people feeling suicidal. Before the virus and now especially.
At a large company, I imagine IT would be concerned about this setup. Though it’s on them to make the proper VPN solution more usable.

I've seen too many little server rooms where the AC unit is installed above the false ceiling directly above the server rack.

It makes sense, in a way... except that the condensation collection lines are also right above the server rack, and sooner or later someone forgets to do maintenance and you spring a leak.

Put it over the walkway, for pity's sake (also, then you can work on it with a fully populated server room!)
Torres for Barca is because it's 90th of the minute of the game and Barca are about to be knocked out of CL. At that point, everyone goes up. If the ball went for a corner, the goalie would come up as well. I'm assuming it's something similar for that Salah goal as well. Context matters as well.
Thanks for listing the bug report. First reported in early 2013 and still going on with updates and duplicate reports from users! :(
Some people prefer to rent instead of buying cheap tools. And I understand them.

Cheap tools sometimes don't work even once. I had first experience.

- Hacksaw blades that wore out before cutting a tenth small metal part. The good one bought as a replacement made short work of it and was still good for may others.

- Egg beater went up in smoke making slightly thick dough. The good one barely slowed down. It is not the first power tool I had that went up it smoke after moderate use, but that one didn't even last a single use.

- Square that was more than one degree off.

- Sewing needle with a hole too small for threading anything thicker than a human hair.

- Screwdrivers and bits that simply don't fit. At least not without damage.

- Adjustable pliers that slipped every time, could only be used at their widest setting. With terrible grip of course.

All these were replaced with good quality tools, the first purchase was a complete waste.

To be honest many of the cheapoes I bought are very nice. My set of cheap wrenches perform flawlessly. Don't feel as good as the nice ones but they at least perform their primary function. The adjustable ones are crap though, rounded a few nuts before being replaced.

So my take is to use good judgment, the "absolute cheapest" is often a bad idea. The problem is that if you are experienced, you probably have the good stuff already, and if you are not, it is hard to make that judgment.

Personally, when it comes to cheap tools I had the most success when buying store brands from large chains. IKEA tools for instance are not even hobbyist grade in quality, but at least, they perform their basic function and are suitable for light duty work.
The movie's hype around "scientifically accurate" made the nonsensical low effort copout about offscreen wizards casting 6th dimensional time travel spells even more infuriating.

We need to clone decephalized humans and livestock.

With thousands of brainless bodies kept alive on life support, you have test subjects for a limitless number of experiments that would have never been possible before. You also create a never-ending O negative blood supply and organ harvesting program.

It the case of decephalized animals, you also get cruelty free meat. And that's how you bootstrap the program and port it to the human model.

There would be a lot of political pressure, but this would be a space-age jump in supporting fundamental biological research, supplying renewable body parts and tissues, and keeping us healthy and young.

We need to do it.

Your personal liberty ends where my nose begins.

When it comes to rights, we always have to ask "what are the reasonable trade-offs?". There are no absolute rights, even in the U.S.

Most people believe it's clearly reasonable that we lock down our cities to prevent mass death. The economic pain is great, and it's very inconvenient for all, but it's much better than mass death.

You're entirely free to read/watch/do anything you want in your home, you can exercise, talk to anyone about anything you want, get food, take care of essential things.

You're not free to risk killing many people just so you can enjoy leisure activities. That would be privileging your personal liberty over the lives of your fellow citizens. And, incidentally, you would be depriving some of them of their personal liberty by virtue of killing them...

Does it bother you that you can't own significant quantities of radioactive material and carry them around while you're in public? Clearly laws forbidding this are an infringement of personal liberty. But they're an incredibly reasonable infringement so it doesn't bother you, I'd assume.

A democratic society should be governed by the people. We, The People, have decided that the lock downs are good. We have in effect demanded and endorsed them. So you're disagreeing with the majority of your fellow citizens, not some dictator.

For some unknown reason you believe these lock downs are unreasonable, without any clear rationale.
what approaches do you think would be better? do you mean something along the lines of "ask for forgiveness, not permission"?

You can also use Tor as IPv6 proxy in a pure IPv4 network (or as IPv4 proxy in a pure IPv6 network), recent versions of Tor can work under pure IPv6, gaining privacy and connectivity simultaneously. The speed is not actually too bad for web browsing, although not ideal for SSH. But still comes handy sometimes, I'm used it before to clone packages from GitHub on IPv6-only servers.
The commerce clause and related federal growth are all a result from FDR. It's why we have a war on drugs, it's why the government can seem to do anything. It once required amendments for the government to do new things - a government of enumerated powers, now it can do anything.
You might be surprised. Pretty much all of the pre silicon work at the semi companies I have worked at (besides maybe emulation) is done “remotely” from a server farm to begin with. Even with post silicon work, with careful lab set up, you can do a surprising amount of work remotely, or with minimal lab time.

But you’re right, the light at San Tomas and Walsh is a pain.

The rules, rules and more rules of incompetent politically-correct safety-first idiocracy has achieved near total economic shutdown. Day 45 here.
Asset values can just increase. Alice who has $10 and 0 units buys 10 units from Bob who has 10 units and $0 dollars. Alice then sell back to Bob 5 units for $10 dollars. Alice now has 5 units (worth $10) and $10, Bob now has 5 units (worth $10). Total wealth in the system went from $20 to $30.

In addition, companies produce things, some of that wealth gets returned to the investors through dividends, interest (eg on bonds) and buy backs (in my example, let's say each unit generates $1 in dividend, now total wealth is $40(!) while starting at $20, including $20 cash (starting from $10) and $20 worth of units (starting from $10)).

In fact, we see this growth everywhere around us as both the amount of people and the amount of goods and services per person is increasing!

>Their "list" is basically just a list of states with debt, that completely ignores their ability to issue new debt and generate revenue (i.e. that people actually want to live in California and not Kansas)

Do they? I'll grant you that nobody wants to live in Kansas. It had a net migration of −4.32% between 2017-2018. But California doesn't fair much better at −3.95%. People are also fleeing Illinois, Connecticut and Massachusetts (all in the bottom 5 as give by Mercatus) in record numbers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territ...

As people leave these state, it certainly does impact their ability to raise revenue, and this is compounded by how many blue states rely on progressive taxation.

>I mean, the fact that Kansas is so high on this list should tell you all you need to know.

But Kansas is a special case. Their pension funds were crippled by particularly bad mismanagement and corruption. The question you should be asking is why are the other bottom 5 blue states?

> tanning is not correlated with melanoma

This conflicts with what I've always been taught, and with every high google result for 'tanning skin cancer'. (I'm in Australia, where the sun is especially damaging; but I'd be surprised if tanning were very dangerous here but fine elsewhere, and in any case the search results were not all local.) What are you basing it on?
Basically, taxonomy isn't all that meaningful for viruses.

If a given cell is infected with multiple ~related viruses, various chimeric viruses will be produced. Then there'll be selection on the basis of infecting other cells. And then the process repeats, until the host recovers or dies.
> If we have a vaccine candidate that is safe, is there any reason not to give it in mass before knowing if it works?

Yes. In some cases, the wrong kind of immune response can cause antibody-dependent enhancement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody-dependent_enhancement), where the immune reaction enhances the severity of the virus.

This is not terribly common, but alas this exact mechanism has been seen in earlier work on SARS.
If it takes 80 seconds to TCP connect, something is pretty wrong.

tcpdump / wireshark would likely show lots of retransmits. Traceroute/mtr may give you an idea of where the loss starts. If you can find servers on similar hosting, you can get some idea of if it's targetted or not.
As an engineer, I consider fleshing out incomplete workflows to be one of the largest parts of my job. I've found the technique of saying "hey, the specification doesn't mention what to do in this situation, based on X/Y/Z elsewhere in the specification / this other similar feature, I'm operating under the assumption that it should work like <description of your best guess>. Let me know if that's mistaken". Then I make sure I have a commit of the state of the code, and start building based on the stated assumption.

A large fraction of the time, the PM just goes "that is correct", and the spec / ticket / whatever gets updated. When the answer is not "that is correct", you do lose out on whatever work you've done since sending that message, but writing code you eventually throw away isn't the end of the world. Also "that is not correct" responses often highlight areas where either the developer misunderstood what the PM was envisioning or the PM has a misunderstanding of what the system can do or how their proposed feature interacts with something else.

For this to work, you need:

1. Some variety of asynchronous channel that the developer can push stuff into at whatever frequency they want, and that the PM periodically catches up on entirely.

2. The developer to have a working understanding of how existing systems work and the system as a whole, from the business level.

3. The flexibility to modify specifications between the initial conception and implementation.

If you have all of those things, the PM doesn't necessarily need to think through the entire workflow beforehand -- it's nice if they can do that, but you can still ship working features without that and sometimes that is the pragmatic way to do it.

In my experience, virtually none of the product people do this, at least initially. The requirement to begin with covers about 10% of this flowchart, then engineers start asking questions about edge cases, and pretty soon you’re sitting through your third meeting trying to just get everyone on the same page of what the requirements are, let alone how to build it.
> SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that can make you sick. Some people don’t feel sick at all, some people feel a little bit sick, and a very small group of people, especially old people, get very sick and might die.

Maybe mention something about the long term issues that it appears could be a reality for even those who "don’t feel sick at all, some people feel a little bit sick"?

Also, while the the goal of flattening the curve was focused on lowering the impact on health care, as seen in Australia and New Zealand it can also result in stopping nearly all local transmission.

That’s great news; here’s the link:

https://questdirect.questdiagnostics.com/products/

However, I’m disappointed that it’s not available in the states of AK, HI, OK, AZ, IN, nor outside of the U.S. Further silliness is that in CA and OR you have to wait a week to get the results because California and Oregon state laws require that lab results be held for 7 days before Quest can release them; this hold is in place so that your physician has the opportunity to discuss your lab test results with you prior to you receiving them.

Another annoyance is the little questionnaire you have to go through before they agree to sell it to you. You have to divine their intentions for each question. If you don’t answer “correctly”, this is what you get and they won’t sell it to you:

This test is not right for you. Based on your response, you may still have an active COVID-19 infection and this test may not be right for you at this time. COVID-19 Immune Response testing is specifically used to check for an immune response to the virus which can take time after an active infection.

I understand all that. I just want to buy the test. Maybe I want to keep it for a day when I or someone I know needs it. Or whatever reason. Why force users to reverse engineer the questions and then lie to get it?

Also if you give your date of birth as less than 18, you get the same “This test is not right for you” refusal. I guess they don’t want to sell to minors, though the message is deceptive since it has to do with regulation and not whether the infection is active. So if you’re buying it to test your children, you again have to lie to their questionnaire since the questions are posed for the person taking the test.

The bureaucracy surrounding medical products is just horrible.

It is a huge hammer and this is a huge problem. We normally arrest people for endangering the public. People not abiding by the lock down are clearly endangering the public. They should be arrested.

At GitLab, we're really excited about this announcement! With GNOME, KDE and now Xfce moving to GitLab, we're definitely gaining traction as the preferred platform for open source projects to thrive at scale.

While all these orgs are very excited about hosting code on GitLab and about the CI/CD features we have, migration and consolidation of other tools is still ongoing for some of them. I think this is a big area of opportunity for GitLab since we're building a platform that allows so much more than just code hosting and great CI/CD. We're looking forward to becoming even better at other stages of the software development lifecycle so that GitLab can be used as the single platform to collaborate on building great software.

If anyone is interested in learning more about upcoming priorities for GitLab and its overall direction, check out: https://about.gitlab.com/direction/

And for others who are working on open source projects and want to try us out, check out our GitLab for Open Source program: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/ Through this program you get access to our top tiers for free along with 50K free CI minutes.
I think there's a few considerations on the potential for TikTok. IG is laden with ads to where it degrades the UX (every 2-4 pics/videos is an ad), it's been taken over by insta "models" and paid-for-content which makes it less appealing to the average joe/jane, it tries to do too much.

From my limited exposure what I'm seeing is that a ton of millennials are on TikTok making funny videos. I mean, TONS of people in past weeks. I checked it out maybe a year or so ago and it was all teenagers, but now it's millennials which btw are the users that made facebook/instagram what they became. So far it isn't laden with ads, the UX is very simple (1 video at a time and that's it), it's owned by a massive Chinese conglomerate with deep pockets and a likely appetite to take on FB.

edit: as someone else said the feature that makes it unique is the ability to use the audio from anyone else's video. They also have a large catalog of existing audio to choose from...

Interview with Red Hat CEO Paul Cormier
The thing that worries me is the way exponential growth rates work.

In the places that everyone has been paying attention to, New York, Italy, Spain, etc., the growth rate indeed seems to be coming under control. And for the sake of argument, let's say that they/we succeed in reopening businesses while continuing to limit the spread.

But, what about the places that had fewer cases early on, and are now growing at a much higher percentage rate? If you rank countries by the number of new cases, you are starting to see some with relatively few cases but many new ones, and if it is as exponential as it appears, it's going to be a matter of days before the previous leaders are replaced. This is happening country by country, and similarly within the US by state.

The US still had the most new cases of any country yesterday, but who was #2 and #3? Not the countries that you've been hearing about, but Brazil and Russia. Turkey, India, and Mexico also seem to be trending to soon have more new cases than the European countries people have been paying attention to.

And within the US? NY and NJ are still the top two states, but number 3 is now California, number 6 is Texas, and number 8 is Georgia - all states with relatively few cases so far, but the number of new cases is surging relative to the previously hard hit states.

It's like the stock market - people attach too much importance to the numbers describing the current situation and not enough to differences in growth rate.
