> The existence of "modes" is also opposite to the approach which is know for decades to be less prone to accidental errors: having no modes and always being able to perform more undo steps.

vim has had the multi-level undo and redo for a number of years. If I really screw up, I can always run something like :earlier 5m to get back to the state I was at 5 minutes ago.

The only problem I have with some of the normal mode keystrokes is when I want to use some of the window based shortcuts and accidently press ctrl-w while my browser window is open (which closes the tab) :)

AFAIU, the original Interstate Highway System was all concrete. These days states usually resurface heavily trafficked segments with asphalt (of various varieties) atop the old concrete. Apparently, at least as of 2006 60% of the system was still concrete pavement: https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2006/3127/2006-3127.pdf Which is not surprising as IME long segments of the IHS are often still concrete pavement, especially in the South and West; it's only in urban areas where asphalt surfacing seems ubiquitous.

I'm not sure how new segments are built today, but they may very well still use concrete underlayment, or at least something more substantial than loose aggregate. Road tech these days is way more complicated than just concrete v. asphalt. I would guess that for remote segments, and given the load requirements, it may still be cost effective to keep using concrete surfacing.
I think wide tables are a performance problem with the table lib were using (tabulator). There may be ways to improve it. Frankly I don't have a 60 wide table to test with.

This seems like it would only work if you're able to stay bumper to bumper with the charging car for 30+ minutes. You'd have to be traveling a very long distance along the same route (and, the charging car's destination MUST be before it runs out of power after transferring its power). What are the odds of that happening, on a reliable basis? At that scenario, it seems more sensible to install overhead wires (or underground) along freeways for long distance travel.
Yeah, it's fairly simple to crudely replicate the effect in CSS. It gets rid of the possibility that your cursor is blocking a portion of the button label, but creates uncertainty in the position of the cursor -- jiggling the mouse lightly won't let you locate it anymore. What iPadOS 'invented' was to transition the effect in a smoother and snappier way.

1. Airplane mode

3. Block facebook.com at your router.

Option 2 could be helpful if you want to block it for privacy reasons.

NZ, at least, has a clear strategy to defeat the virus: eradicate the virus internally, mandatory 14-day quarantine for everyone entering the border (and only NZ residents plus a few essential workers are allowed to enter) to keep it out, intense contact tracing and testing to snuff out outbreaks from cases that slip through. (I think this is also the Australian govt strategy but I haven't been watching their press conferences.)

Sure, the war isn't over, but it's at least plausible this will be effective for a long time. Versions of it are working in China and a number of other countries that were able to stop the spread in time.

If there is never a vaccine, then there will be harder decisions for all these countries in the future about how to deal with countries that failed to defeat the virus. It seems fine to worry about that later.
Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If I understood you correctly (the text's meaning appears somewhat fuzzy), your go-to-market strategy is to first collaborate (and/or consult?) - perhaps, through your "PoCs and Rapid Prototyping" services - and then allow users to "pull" your capabilities and core service into their labs. Right?

Having said that, I haven't seen any science-focused channels, resources or offers on your website ...
Mouse acceleration is one of the things I always turn off on a clean install, precisely because of that nonlinearity. When I have to use others' systems who do have it on, I find myself always overshooting with the cursor.
Sorry, use of the term GUID confused things - I meant that if an identifier string is generated when you click on the ad, and the purpose is to simply see if that identifier completes the app install and first use - that's not against GPDR. (In my head GUID means "unique identifier string".) Storing the GUID tells you nothing other than some device clicked on an ad and some device did or did not complete the app install.

Which proves ancient statement "Greed and cowardliness rule the world". I'm sure, there are people even in Western democracies, who perfectly aware where their outsource projects comes from. Not to say about China and Russia - they use slave labor of North Koreans for decades. Slaves from North Korea built stadiums for World Cup 2018 [0] in Russia. Everyone there knew about it (I'm Russian as well), there was plenty of evidence. Did anyone boycott the games?

That's almost never true for any organisation big enough to start using virtualisation. Typical cluster utilisation levels that I have seen are 20-60%.

It starts to make sense to buy a small 5-node VMware cluster for orgs as small as 100 users, at which point the cloud becomes questionable.

I mean, sure, if you have less than 100 staff and it doesn't make sense to buy a cluster, use the cloud.

I believe you are conflating the case fatality rate with the infection fatality rate.

> Kilpatrick, from UC Santa Cruz, said that if the estimates from New York stand up to scrutiny, the infection fatality rate in New York City would be approximately 0.8%.

> [...]

> Epidemiologists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, for example, analyzed data from the Diamond Princess, the ill-fated ship on which more than 700 passengers got infected. Researchers adjusted for the fact that cruise passengers are older than average and estimated the coronavirus’ infection fatality ratio as 0.6%.

[...]

> Now let’s talk about the flu. Comparisons to the flu keep coming back like a many-headed hydra, and they roared back last week with a vengeance.

> The estimates I’ve seen for influenza IFR range from about 0.14% on the upper end to 0.04% on the lower end. So if the IFR for this coronavirus ends up being around 0.5%, that’s still many times worse than the flu.

[...]

> Marc Lipsitch, head of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics, has estimated that ultimately 20% to 60% of the population could be infected with COVID-19. By comparison, because of immunity provided by flu shots and past infections, only about 10% to 20% of the population gets sick with influenza every year, according to Kilpatrick.

> Kilpatrick sketched out what this meant: “If it’s five times deadlier than the seasonal flu, and three times as many people are going to get it, that means we’re going to get 15 times as many deaths. And 15 times 30,000, which is the middle-of-the-road kind of a seasonal flu year, that’s 450,000 deaths — about half a million deaths — that’s a pretty big, scary number, I think.”

“The test of first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.” - Dwight Whitney Morrow

Why would I sign up for something from your service to get around your service? I'll just bounce and use one of your customers competitors.
The estimation is done by the team, and when the numbers are sufficiently apart, team can divide predictably. Let's say you have a six member team, when estimates happen 4 can say 5, and 2 can say 8. Discussion happen, and we finalize one between 5 or 8.

Consider same for a linear estimate. 2 will say 4 days, 1 will say 5 days, 2 will say 6 day, and 1 will say 8 days. How do you come to a conclusion now, it surely needs more debate, to determine if it is 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8.

If you do not like Fibonacci you can use powers of 2. Like 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or you can form your own sequence with numbers sufficiently apart. Since Fibonacci standardized it we just use it.

I'm not sure if anecdotes are allowed or welcomed, hope this is okay: Around 2003 I learnt about lysine having something to do with preventing HSV-1, so I got some and took some large doses until the bottle was finished. Haven't had a cold sore since, and I was getting them ~yearly before. Sometimes I can feel the tingling and think shiiit, here it comes again finally, but I never really had a proper breakout.

Also, the more I hear about the HSV/Alzheimer's link, the more I freak out about my shitty memory :(

Are you gonna drive 2000 miles straight through or get a hotel?

I did 1800 miles straight through twice, once with three drivers and once with five and both were pretty rough. Would not repeat. Almost had a driver fall asleep at the wheel the second time and I didn’t get to nap after my last turn at the wheel because of it.

If you’re doing it alone, subtract an hour a day for hotels. If you are with a group, then I think some of the other people are right: you’re going to stop more often and for longer than you think you are. Half an hour every three hours will keep you at above half your range and wouldn’t be so bad.

Because like all customer-focused apps, they are focused on customer retention and satisfaction. It’s much better to let customers cancel orders or complain after the fact and just refund their money, than it is to fight with them and have them leave a bad review - or worse, have them request a chargeback, too many of which will get you canceled from your card processor.

Meanwhile, the delivery platforms just push the cost back to the restaurants.

If restaurants had the guts to cancel their service with the delivery platforms, they could squeeze them into doing a better job, but at this time no restaurant can afford not to participate in the delivery economy, at any cost.

Reminds me about an article I read years and years ago about a company that was put out of business by Wal-Mart because Walmart would take almost anything back as a return and just forward it back to the company for a refund. They described getting tractor trailer loads back with empty boxes, boxes with most of the pieces missing, etc - all debited from their sales.
Autopatzer: my automatic chess board
With the exception of certain corner cases, when evil-mode doesn't exactly emulate vim it's considered a bug and should be reported as such.

I have run in to some of those corner cases myself, and had to ask myself whether they were worth giving up Emacs and evil for, and the answer for me that was that they weren't. Both are way too useful for me, and an occasional hiccup here and there isn't worth giving them up and going back to vim.

Also, I don't run in to those corner cases very often. Maybe 95% percent or more of the vim commands and features I use myself are completely emulated by evil without issues.

One other thing to ask yourself when running in to such cases is whether they're really an incompleteness in evil's vim emulation or maybe just a lack of a keybinding or some function that you could easily write yourself (if you know eLisp).

It's taken some elbow grease, but I've ironed out a lot of the wrinkles such as missing vim-like keybindings in modes that don't come with them by default (others use spacemacs or doom for this).

Good question, you can of course test this yourself with `time`.

In the case of Bash, non-built-in commands are stored in a lookup table, exposed via the hash built-in (`help hash`). So, there should only be a one-time performance hit per shell instance.

Generally speaking, stat'ing hundreds of directories is surprisingly quick, most binaries do it all the time, when loading libraries for example. You can `strace` to see the numerous file tree crawls.

Most definitely not. It depends on the household or how clean inside is itself. Usually you tell by context or just knowing the person whose house you're entering.

Personally here in Michigan at my house right outside Detroit shoes are taken off if you are going inside to stay. If you're grilling or doing yardwork or moving from the front to the back (no path but thru house currently) they stay on. I'd never keep them on for longer than 10 minutes inside but it's common.

My cousin's is totally different. Shoes off before you hit the carpet. Maybe cause they keep it obsessively clean? Carry them to the backdoor if you have to. It's not something I even think about - they just come off, I don't need his wife upset or anything.

this is a difficult article to get through.

> Aside from a disproportionately large brain, we're fairly ordinary mammals.

we're rather inadequate mammals. it is our brain in conjunction with our propensity for violence and ability to use tools that separates us, not necessarily in a good way, from other mammals.

> However we should also consider ourselves to be a member of a very different group - those species, scattered throughout the universe, which ponder the existence of life beyond their own planet.

this is wholly narcissistic. we have no evidence that other animals don't have philosophy.

> Given the vast scale of the universe, this group is likely to be even more numerous and diverse than our own animal kingdom.

no evidence for that either.

> Which begs the question: how should we expect to stack up against these other intelligent species?

that's not what "begs the question" means.

so an article going off about interpreting data and logical conclusions is a little hard to give credence to when the opening paragraph is basically sentence after sentence of non-evidentiary or incorrect statements.
