Good anecdote. I also had a "weird cold" in February with symptoms that are unusual for me but typical of COVID-19, and have been waiting to get the antibody test. I kind of expect it to turn out the same way. (Otherwise, I would really like to figure out what the "weird cold" that everyone had in February was. Because it sure was weird, and everyone I know had it.)
imagine a world where everyone was ageless by default, and they started to experience issues like inequality or overpopulation. What would that world's top scientists come up with? Would it be "kill everyone above a certain age"? I doubt it

And it would most definitely not be "infect everyone with a pathogen that causes their bodies and minds to deteriorate over several decades".

I hate to just direct you to arduino.cc, but there's so many boards I can't really answer this in a more reasonable way.

The Arduino Due has been around for probably seven years and runs on ARM. There are many other versions now that are all ARM. The FPGA coprocessor one... hmm, I don't see it so maybe I just read it in the news or got confused by the Portenta that is supposed to be released about now.

The ESP32 one... I thought Arduino was moving to that for the RF capabilities but might be wrong, I can't find one for that either anymore. I know for sure you can get a ESP32 dev board and program it with the Arduino IDE and their Arduino-IDF libraries compile nearly Arduino-identical code with a few limitations (relative to the Teensy, which I think is basically perfect library API duplication).
I'm on the edge of what I know here but. I think the flu is innately self limiting because the virus only infects cells in the respiratory system, and generally only the upper part. It tends to kill people who are frail.

Covid19 most of the time mimics the flu. But because the receptors it uses are wide spread in the body it can an does cause systemic illness. In particular I see more and more comments from doctors about clotting and vascular issues.

Consider strep. You have step throat. And then you have scarlet fever. Covid19 is similar, presents at a mild respiratory disease mostly, or as a serious one with pnumonia, or deadly systemic.

My understanding is that under the Consumer Rights Act (UK, 2015) there is no statutory limit on the period goods should last except the expectation of consumers. So, realistically things should last "about as long as expected".

IMO this works quite well, a cheap but of electronics from a pound-shop has to last 2 years (until the end of the Transition Period), a washing machine would be expected to be running after a decade (or more) unless perhaps it was a really budget offering.

It's practical, though I'd like a steadily inflated underpin to warranty periods too force companies to remove their planned obsolescence and make things more repairable.

I don't know about Eurorack stuff, but yes, for analog audio output, Teensy sells an audio adapter board with line-level output and a headphone jack [1] and that's what I'm using. The audio data is sent digitally using I2S. The audio library also supports cruder ways to do DAC yourself if you don't need it to be as high quality.

It would be nice if there was a Teensy board with analog audio output, though.

Yes, the main advantage over those models is that it uses atoms that are essentially shaped and moving as atoms do.

Underruns are not bad behavior. It's the host application's responsibility to hand VSTs buffers to process, and the VSTs themselves have no concept of how much processing time is available to them (except a method that signals to distinguish real-time processing from offline processing) or what it means to underrun the buffer.

The behavior you describe (zero signal on underruns) is a common mitigation. The DAW or the driver itself initializes that'll eventually be handed to the sound card to zero before the host application requests the plugins to process, and if it doesn't have time to mix the plugin outputs it'll play back the initialized buffer instead.

From aea12 one might think that it's normal for an underrun to be fatal. Because underruns are not an exceptional occurrence during production (where you might occasionally load one plugin too many or run a different application with unpredictable load characteristics like a web browser) it really isn't an unexplored area and although they're are a pretty jarring degradation I've never experienced crashes that directly correlated with underruns.
Hey dyeje,

> I'd like to see the same visualization on posts and submissions

Would you like to see the same visualization for the top-stories feed? If not, could you elaborate on your request?
There was another article here recently that is relevant[1]

One takeaway was that given a large sample of sites, the baseline size correlates fairly well with how the bundle size scales as projects grow. So if you have a 65kb baseline, you're more likely to end up with a larger bundle size in a "real world" project than if you used a framework with a 5kb baseline. The reasons are not clear (they could be anywhere from direct causation to indirect causes like incidental complexity due to some communities' higher likelihood of using libraries without auditing them), but the results are what they are, nonetheless.

Also, 65kb gzipped means you're running the uncompressed amount of JS. As a rule of thumb, the more JS you're running, the slower the site is going to be. This matters a lot for mobile, where JS execution speed can be absolutely abysmal (on top of slow network speeds, higher chance of resource timeouts, etc).

Yoshitsuna. I see this false positive on other sites all the time. It needs to exclude censored words that are part of others by checking for white space on the sides. And that won’t work with ligatures at the very beginning of text.

Then you need the censorship to be voluntary, so people aren’t tempted to circumvent it.

1) CSS works great, and while it continues to incrementally improve, has been fairly stable since its introduction. What I meant about "solutions" that don't work well are things like React state which has gone from "not a thing" to "redux" to "redux is an antipattern" to "redux is moot because now graphql" which oh BTW means you now need a whole new API? Ok. That framework churn is because those problems are actually difficult, and to date there's no "one true way" that is pretty straightforward and covers 90% of cases pretty well. By contrast, things like "how to set up a webserver that handles HTTP requests" are easier and already well-solved in every serious language, and thus not so subject to the same degree of churn.

2) All those concerns were present in the project I worked with said developer on, and were easy to handle with the basic tools of the browser.

That makes sense.

Part of my point is that the authors found a temperature scale in the NIST data. One plausible source is experimental considerations: if enough of the experiments are conducted at similar temperatures, you might expect to see something related to those temperatures in the data.

No, just that they'll search for whatever information they need to do their jobs within the company's archived email. The nice thing about email is that each message is dated and comes with the author and the author's contact info, so you know exactly who to ask if they're still at the company. (And if they're not at the company, you can ask if you're allowed to contact them depending on the context, or at least figure out who they worked with.)

Nifi is a good (not great) tool, mostly because of all of the functionality you get out of the box. It comes with almost any kind of connector you would need for moving data. There's a pretty steep learning curve, but once you push through that, creating a new data flow from scratch is quick and easy. It sucks that other people in this thread have had bad experiences with Nifi, and I can't say that I haven't. However, it has generally been a positive addition to my team's stack.

Well, for the NYC to DC corridor, that passes through some of the most built-up areas of the country and someone already owns all of that land. Some of the best land for placing a rail network there already is owned by freight lines and has rail installed.

It's not that hard nor expensive to put 400 miles of new rail across Nebraska. It's quite a bit harder and much, much more expensive to buy all the land needed to put 400 miles of new rail between DC and NYC.
> IFRs so high that they yield under 5% immune (basically IFR over 1.5%) aren’t consistent with observation.

But they are. The IFR in places like China, South Korea, and NZ that have things mostly under control at this point, the CFR is consistently above 2% (and as high as 5%), and those places are and were doing significant viral testing, so wouldn't have missed 50% or 150% of the infected. So a CFR of 2% or 1.5% isn't unreasonable (unless you're relying on sero studies as "observation").

Unless you're assuming that there's a huge swath of people (like the significant majority) of Covid-19 cases that are entirely asymptomatic (and we don't have any reason to believe this, we have upper bounds on pre-symptomatic cases at like 50% from randomized viral presence studies, and the asymptomatic numbers should be notably lower), the IFR and CFR should be reasonably close, in places that have things under control and that makes 1.5% IFR more likely than .5%.

> In the case of Stockholm there was 2.5% active infection over a month before the sero study that showed 10%.

Source for this? Sweden has 26,322 confirmed cases today. You're saying that 24000 of those were confirmed in Stockholm well over a month ago?

> of the billions of humans that have existed, how is it that none of them have possessed a mutation which (in this case) endogenously produced the signalling molecules which Katcher is proposing as treatment?

How would we know? What fraction of people in the past actually dies from old age and complications of old age, and not disease, infection, or strife such as wars or other conflict?

In the past, I imagine not degrading due to age would be at best an extra few decades of time until you got a bad flu, or pneumonia, or an infection, or were killed on a battlefield, or if you were female, died from complications of giving birth.
The regulatory capture happens from landowners restricting both the number of dwelling units that are allowed under zoning, and by landowners using political planning process to stop even those dwelling units that fit the zoning.

Massive chunks of our cities are restricted to a single or two dwelling unit per parcel, which creates a huge bubble in land prices.

So in summary, landowners use law to inflate land values by restricting the number of dwelling units that are allowed. (And ironically, by unfairly capping the population density, they force overcrowding of people into existing units, which is what studies are finding to be the true factor the geographic distribution of COVID19 cases in places like NYC, rather than density... but I digress)

Fair enough on the experience and extrapolation. But I would argue your analogy is a bit off. It's undeniable that a lawnmower is faster than scissors. I don't think that's the case between React and no React.

A closer analogy would be a comparison between different models of lawnmower or between a lawnmower and a different kind of mechanical grass cutting device. In which case, it seems you would need to log time to see if you've saved time using one over the other.

Sega fall was far more important than Nintendo in this era. N64 had world wide acclaimed games that Saturn couldn't even hope for. And most of those games couldn't have been created on a CD-based system at that time that imply very slow loading.

N64 fall was mostly due to:

* Lack of texture memory. Having nice looking game was hard and need tricks because you couldn't rely on big textures.

* (Very) bad developer API (actually ABI). Having being in N64 emulation, you truly see they have no idea how 3D rendering was supposed to be exposed.

* Cost heavy support (cartridge).

But even without fixing the last one, the both firsts killed the third party dev investment.

Within create-react-app, the local dev server does indeed use Webpack. For deploying into prod, the recommend approach is to use the `build` script which will output the static files to be deployed to a host e.g. S3 or Zeit Now.

If you require server-side rendering, Next.js can be run just as any other Node server so will be fine in Docker. Alternatively, Next has support for running in AWS Lambda/Lambda@Edge do you don't need to have infra running 24/7.
