What they think is about as relevant as opinion polls from a misinformed public. People largely have their mind made up about it about the covid because it's more of a religion now than anything else.

Nevermind the numerous serology studies from multiple different countries which show exposure to the virus is highly prevalent with most individuals being asymptomatic. Nevermind the multiple recent studies in the U.S. which show the same. Nevermind the numerous prison facilities, ships or other confined areas which show it being highly contagious yet most asymptomatic. Nevermind studies that show Unless you have multiple co morbidities, if you're under 60 you probably at a greater risk of heart disease than the covid. Nevermind that numerous studies site that transmission from children to adults is low and risk to kids themselves has been pretty low.

No no.. Let's close the schools to keep the children safe. Let's close houses of worship and other sociologically important places. Let's close small businesses but let's keep big businesses open. Let's allow the ppl to continue to take public transportation to their big box store as well. Let's indiscriminately quarantine everyone, we most certainly can't have them going to the beach or other outside areas where it's well known UV-C kills the virus and transmission risk outdoors is tiny. Let's jail salon owners operating at home and surfers in the ocean but let's release criminals for politically relevant taking points. Let's make sure we don't quarantine or even test anyone in nursing homes even though they are begging the NY governor to allow it (gotta get to 100k somehow).

Yeh no. Every time i see someone outside exercising in mask and gloves i know exactly how and why we get a 2 trillion dollar stimulus package that gives 86k to politicians per month for childcare during this crisis. They're essentially the droid army from clone wars series, just wearing masks.

I get why the govt is doing it. It's about power and control. I can say that i never thought scientism would get such a hold on the people though. If i were musk i would've already been gone from California. And if i were the governors in Texas I'd perma-ban any emigrants from NY or CA.
It's a cute idea, but it took me all of 5 seconds to find a way to do an end-run around Scunthorpe Sans's fuckcked up censorship.

This rubs me very very wrong. There is no maybe in data integrity. Redis wasn’t designed to be ACID and shouldn’t be treated as such just because “usually” it doesn’t lose data “under the right circumstances.”

If a sysadmin uses an RDBMS with relaxed fsync, they know what they are getting (and durable writes is not one of them, no usually about it). Same for Redis.

It may go against the grain here, but I think advertisements in Windows 10 is crucial. It's strange, because you would expect the HN audience to be in favor of getting products in front of eyeballs.

Operating systems in 2020 have evolved into thought systems that enable our lives in the emergent digital economy. Think of it like real-estate in the "real" world. People hate billboards because they're gaudy, yet they relish Times Square. Operating Systems are like the Times Square of the computing world, allowing us to navigate and consume and vote with our dollars. It makes total sense for them to contain advertisements. In fact, I encourage it.
I also recommend Krita. I started using it when I tried KDE and never went back to GIMP. It's even available in the Microsoft Store for Windows users.

Introduction to AWS Deep Learning
Separate out the phases of the writing process. Do one then the next in explicit phases:

## 1. Get ideas out.

A successful result at this stage looks like a pile of messy clay.

Set a timer and just keep typing for 20 minutes pomodoro-style. Maybe download http://otter.ai/ and talk to yourself while you exercise.

If you really feel stuck, then imitate Test Driven Development: Write a question. Then write an answer. Then write a question that answer raises. Then write an answer. Then write a question like "How can you be so sure of that?" then write an answer. Unlike TDD, don't try too hard design, just keep that cycle going. Just keep typing.

Question Driven Drafting like this is a one way to get words on paper even if you are currently feeling despair or self-hatred or confusion: Explicitly have a debate with your self-doubts. Be sure to do some physical exercise to clear your mind after that sort of thing though.

As humans, we are socially motivated to communicate. All of these techniques aim to imitate that. However, you might find that the most helpful thing is to teach someone or to get on an an internet forum and pontificate.

## 2. Find the structure of the ideas.

A successful result at this stage looks like a bunch of topic headings in a layout that makes sense to you.

Look through them identify the "why". What situation does someone come to your writing with? What do you want someone to walk away from your writing with? Why would they be motivated to learn that?

Write section headings to form your ideas into either a pyramid or a Hero's Journey or some other traditional structure that will help your brain "chunk" them.

Either create an outline or directly push your clay into that shape.

## 3. Notice holes and fill them.

A successful result at this stage looks like text that flows in a way that makes sense to you.

If you notice that there is an image you need, sketch it on paper or whiteboard or https://jspaint.app/. You can hire a professional later if that matters. Do a few pomodoros where you repeat step 1.

To get better at this, play the board game Concept[1].

## 4. Create a good User Experience out of words.

A successful result at this stage looks like a text which is well structured to introduce relevant ideas into the Verbal Loop[1] of the reader's Working Memory in an order that "chunks" often enough that it doesn't OOMkill or having broken links.

That's true in most cases, if you want to make a game as fast as possible, if it's not too ambitious, if you like the framework, and if the constraints are satisfying.

Frameworks are not so cut and dry compared to libraries. Not using a framework is not necessarily a bad idea.
Indeed.

> I still do not know how to write its blog posts or documentation.

Honestly, I've often found that writing documentation alone is a bad use of time. If it wasn't written as part of design or development, the first draft of documentation is always going to suffer from the problem of bridging the gap between knowing the system well and knowing what a knowledge-lacking reader needs.

I submit to y'all that docs should almost always be a pair-programming exercise between a developer who is highly knowledgable and a developer as close to the target audience as you can get. There are plenty of more junior devs on codementor.io or /r/learnprogramming who can help.

Either individual alone will easily flounder or write prose with a bad UX.
Are hospitals approaching capacity? That’s what we should be watching. This thing can certainly go up and down week by week.

And I'm in continued amazement that people don't seem to understand that "beating it" was never the goal. It was to flatten the curve, not eliminate it. Empty hospitals likely mean we went too far.

Staying quarantined until a vaccine is available is likely not a sustainable plan.

Wake up and go outside. Stop reading this shit. Enjoy life and be careful, you'll be ok. Most people already had it and didn't even know.
Incubation time (from exposure to symptoms) can be 2 or 3 days and the median is probably closer to 5 days than 7.
I’m slowly coming to the conclusion that government “lockdowns” and “reopenings” are lagging instructions for what many people had already been doing. By the time shelter in place orders were signed by governors many of us (who were fortunate enough to be able) had already been socially distancing. I remember seeing a thread on HN of MTA data that showed ridership dropping off significantly in the first and second week of March. At that point De Blasio was still encouraging NYC to go about business as usual.

Likewise, by the time governments officially started easing restrictions many people had grown weary of long-term social distancing and the weather started getting nicer so people started venturing out more than they had been.

Average incubation time is 5-6 days so one would expect the results of lifting restrictions last Monday to start showing about now.

They got bought out. What's worse, as the writer explains in the interview, we haven't been able to enforce antitrust laws, as these companies can prove that the consumer hasn't been negatively effected (until COVID hit, of course).
I've never given credence to the "cursing == less articulate" either. It's knowing the impact dropping a curse can have to get people's attention. Plus, sometimes, people are just too dense to get how bothered you are, but drop a colorful phrase, and they tend to get the point. Like the George Carlin bit, take a word like "incredible" and it's a nice word. Stick fuck in the middle of it to make "infuckingcredible" and it's an even better word. Fanfuckingtastic > fantastic and is much more impactful than "most fantastic". Having said all of that, I have never told someone FU. That's my line.
~38 of intensive care beds are free in Germany right now.
What I think is interesting about YouTube is how it provides money and an audience for content creators. I generally prefer reading to watching videos, because I can read faster than I can listen. But people make videos because they get 1 cent per view (or whatever) and because viewers of other videos will be pushed in their direction. There is just no other platform that does anything like that. Text ads on text content don't seem to pay very well, and nobody has made a platform like YouTube for authors. (Medium was supposed to be this, but I've never been encouraged to spend much time on Medium. There is no recommendation, so you don't get "lost" there like you might on YouTube or even Wikipedia.)

As for books, they require a large investment with a minimal chance of returns. Nobody recommends your book. There is no way to have advertisers sponsor your book. So to write a book, you need to secure financing and build a bespoke marketing campaign to make a profit. That is just too hard, so people make videos instead, because the financial aspect and finding an audience takes care of itself and the creator can focus on content. (Of course, there is still plenty of randomness; lots of great channels with 3 subscribers and 10 views because the recommendation algorithm never found them. But losing the recommendation lottery is a lot different than not having anything at all. So people keep trying, and I think a lot of good channels do get discovered.)

> The reproduction rate has risen to 1.1 - that means that ten people will pass the virus on to 11 more people. To keep the pandemic in check this level should be below one.

So Germany is going for total eradication of this virus? What makes them think that’s possible.
The infection rate is expected to rise as lockdowns are eased.

The question is if treatment capacity is overwhelmed.

"It needs just 930 logic gates (packed into 33 standard 7400-series ICs) to create a computer that beat 'complex' 1980s home computers like the VIC-20 in terms of both CPU power and graphics."

Given that 7400 chips existed at the time, why did no contemporary microcomputer go this route? Would it just have been cost prohibitive?

I'm not expressing an opinion on the practice, but in case a child who doesn't know the word reads it?

I can remember as a child reading a story in a UK tabloid newspaper that quoted (Neil Kinnock, I think) with some asterisks in some of the words, and not fully understanding.
People are already infectious much earlier (2..3 days I think?).

Also people already started to take the restrictions less seriously quite a bit earlier than the official relaxations.
And the lockdown was never very strict in Germany in the first place. Some types of businesses had to close, but people could go outside "for no particular reasons", just keep a distance to people not in your own household and if possible don't travel across Germany.

And finally, AFAIK the RKI "infection rate computation" is based at least partly on predictive models.

PS: The actual lockdown rules differed slightly across the German federal states. I think at least Bavaria had stricter rules then what I described, which makes sense because they've been hit harder.
It has also become a loan word in English, so there's at least a de facto convention of how it is spelled with latin characters in English text. It's not written in kanji when used in English.

I've argued with many people who firmly believe it is worth burning the economy to the ground in order to "save lives". Eventually, the argument distills down to: "Do you care more about corporate profits and bankers and billionaires OR peoples' lives?"
> Cloudformation

The approach CFN used made sense when there was no alternative, but Terraform's approach is so much better. I wonder how AWS approaches this space in the future. CFN has great vendor lock-in, and needs to remain supported for any customers who are locked in, but its harmful for any new development to use CFN.

I get that AWS likes having infrastructure framework level lock-in, but they need to do better.

Does anyone have a feel for how hard AWS support, account reps, or training push CFN versus Terraform? I've been out of the AWS cloud for a while.

Had to look this up after your mentioning of this. After further reading I learned that waivers are offered for other conditions. But unfortunately, in the case of COVID-19, waivers aren't being offered to those who have been diagnosed, hospitalized, and survived.
By now there’s a lot of empty beds and there’s more than sufficient capacity in testing. It totally makes sense to reopen a bit and try to find sustainable mode of quarantine.

Yeah, missing the proxy pass option will definitely burn a prospective Lambda user.

I also felt a similar tinge when the post talks about KCL. Yes, you use it, and yes there are rules about output streams - but they all make sense when deployed in fairly complex environments. I can’t remember when I last used stdout for logging outside of greenfield development. Once it’s on prod everything goes to stderr and is highly structured.

Similar sentiments about Cognito. At some point of complexity you must have a server in between using the Admin* range of commands. If you want their “get going quickly” then yes, there are trade offs like WebViews. That said; I’ve never used Auth0 - so insert a Luddite warning here.
