The low occupancy rate of field hospitals is evidence that either the lockdown worked, or that it was unnecessary. It excludes the case in which the lockdown was obviously necessary and just barely worked, since that's the case in which those field hospitals would themselves have been overwhelmed or nearly so, as well as the existing ICUs.

Without regard to the actual effectiveness, the fact that the field hospitals went mostly empty will fuel acrimonious debate about said effectiveness.

Interesting, he thinks "there has not been much progress in pruning NNs in the last 10 years". Maybe he meant that it's often possible to train a non-pruned network of the same size as the pruned network, and achieve a similar accuracy.

I understand where you're coming from - it is advertised as the 'view layer'. But I think that templates are more similar to the native browser language - html, so it is easier to grasp. It is also simpler and easier to implement than a js+jsx parser.

Nobody does react without jsx because it is the worst of both worlds, but if React had template strings (not necessarily built-in but at least as a first-party plugin) it would be a more viable option.
It also creates documentation/repeatable processes.

Also, learning, though that can be hard to justify.
This is one of the things I love about macOS -- when it works. I really wish they worked better.

Yank works 90% the same, which is close enough to be useful but different enough to be annoying, daily. Repeat count is disabled by default. Transpose is broken in Xcode 10, and I heard Xcode 11 fixed it but one of my Macs can't run (the macOS required for) Xcode 11 so I'm hesitant to upgrade.

And of course if you use Firefox, they've implemented the whole GUI from scratch, and didn't bother with half of those, despite bug reports having been filed literally decades ago.

I get the feeling that Emacs keybindings on the Mac are like map/reduce in Python: it got snuck in version 1 by a fan, and the maintainers since then haven't really understood why it's there or what to do with it. I fully expect it to simply disappear one of these days.
> You can work when you know enough do common textual operations to add remove and modify text, search through existing text, jump around to different files in the project, and run whatever constitutes a build.

It is one thing to know enough and quite other to be proficient in using them effectively. With the horrible and unintuitive default keybindings it takes even longer to develop muscle memory.

> One can read the entirely of mastering emacs and the cider docs in a reasonable period of time for example.

Yes one can in theory. But again if everybody could become proficient in something just by reading manuals then we could shut down our expensive schools and colleges and any sort of practical training. Also, everyone could then program in `ed` or TECO.

Curious, have you actually met any other person who's not an emacs user in real life, like ever? Here's an experiment, go to any decent software company and ask 5 new hires who've never used Emacs, give them the manual and see how long it takes them to actually do something significant? Then give them VSCode and compare notes.
Really? I assume you don't have slack installed on a Mac then eh? What a horrendous piece of shit.
Yes, Hangul is one of the two scripts known to me designed with.proper logic and regularity, which makes it easy to use.

Describe how you expect 100M at risk Americans to shelter, while the remaining 229M party like it's 1999? For example, I work with a team of 9; two have diabetes and are overweight, one has hypertension, one has heart issues. One has a mother with cancer he takes care of. I have two children who in your scenario would be going to school and bring home SARS-CoV-2 for dinner. My wife also works in public service, and prior to the shutdown, interacted with hundreds of people per day. So I'm sure my coworkers will be thrilled that you're willing to sacrifice them up on the alter of herd immunity.

I’m curious, when were you last a browser dev? Because as noted by other responders, what you’ve said is just wrong (quite apart from the fact that this is all valid HTML, except for removing the doctype), and has been for quite a few years now. Fifteen years ago, yeah, your advice was sound, but it’s been completely safe to depend on an HTML5 parser being in use for most of the last decade.

(I’m not trying to be hostile, just seeking that misinformation be corrected, and you’ve made a claim that doesn’t make sense to me unless it’s from quite some years ago.)
If one wants to learn more about this, where can I go to find more information about what they're doing, tools, getting started, etc.?
jQuery days make me like React, but it's not because I like SPAs, it's because it gives things an intuitive and reusable structure that I can organize and maintain much more effectively and can pretty much be the same server and client side. React is even a comparative pleasure to use for building static sites.

I've always assumed SPAs were partially driven by it historically being difficult to combine server side and client side rendering with a single shared code base more than anything - so much of the early stuff ended up in people essentially having to maintain two entire sites between front and back end rather than just one.
One thing I wonder with GraphQL, is usefull to use for mostly server-side without routing by JS?

I think could be use-full to use for the extra possibility of auto-get a lot of the client side utilities, but if I wish to handle all server side (like in a regular actix project), how is done?
>There are already safeguards that make it difficult to cheat undetectably in vote by mail.

The majority of Americans still trust in-person voting over vote-by-mail. Perhaps you can share the safeguards that will assuage their concerns.

>Within the coronavirus context and questions of safety with in-person voting in November, voters are not very comfortable changing their method of voting. Voters across the country generally trust their current voting process, with 55% trusting primarily in-person voting, compared with 20% who do not trust the current process. When asked about mail balloting, 47% said they would trust a national vote-by-mail process in November, while 31% lack trust in this system. When voters were asked about online balloting, only 33% said they would trust an online system, with 45% not trusting online voting in November’s election.

Why the downvotes? That reply might have been ELI5-level, but I am a physicist.

Atoms are fuzzy things without a hard interface boundary. At that scale it doesn't really make sense to say they have a "perimeter" at all. The distance at which they repel each other is different from the distance at which they cling together in a hydrogen bond, which is different from the distance between covalently bonded atoms, etc. The electrons themselves roam all over the place, including far outside whatever bond distance you might choose as the size of an atom. In short, there isn't a perimeter which defines "inside" and "outside" of the atom.

The "empty space" thing is a bit of a poor analogy anyway. It comes from chemical experiments which showed that the repulsive cross section of an atom when pummeled with zero-charge particles is orders of magnitude smaller than the electric cross section. These are different forces though (strong vs electromagnetic), so it's a bit apples-to-oranges to begin with.
So the story is: Iran has a satellite, and like any other satellite it's not very risky and this leads to the other story: is blocking Iran from science and research in space actually helping? And the answer is probably not, and also nobody is going to unwind this kind of stupidity very soon.

I think it would achieve more to help Iran with payloads than get snitty about a cubesat.

And say they did get high resolution imaging into space and started looking at US or Israeli or Saudi military and strategic assets.. isn't that kind of normal? Might it not actually help pacify things by giving them incontrovertible evidence there isn't a risk of invasion?
This. Their UX is hostile to browsers, I suppose they make more money due to ads being harder to block in app vs in browser and much more data can be mined as well.

In the English-language usage I grew up with, 'occupied' means that there is something there, while 'filled' means occupied to the point where nothing more can be added. The former does not imply the latter.

In this usage, space itself (the 'empty' space of the article's title) is implicitly not something.

This usage may seem to be an accidental issue of language, resulting from an incomplete understanding of physics, but a lot of metaphysics seems to reach the point of hanging on such definitions. One may, of course, agree with both of the points of view expressed in this paragraph.
Thank you! Yes, i've tried it. You can think of me like someone that prefers an old model of the Porsche 911 than the latest model - too much technology that you can't fix yourself, and that's my primary concern with the major frameworks - they're not simple to reimplement!
At the margins, yes, but in practice if you have seemingly balanced opening and closing tags but invalid nesting, the outer close tag generally makes the HTML invalid, for which there's plenty of tooling to check.
That seems like the only precise definition I've seen for what is a framework.

From this perspective it would be interesting to see some rationale for why libraries not frameworks.

I would say that libraries are not the opposite of frameworks at all. You can have a library which contains a set of framework-classes.
We have Lynx already.

Most of those crazy looking Spring classes aren't used by users and are just used internally by the framework developers. Of all the complaints people have about Spring, I've never heard "these classes are too abstract" or "these names are too obtuse."

There was maybe one instance where I had to deal with obtuseness like that. Definitely not the norm.
The single session thing is annoying. I'm guessing it is related to their various data provider regulations. The large brokers can get around this because, well, you are not really seeing pool depth and the like.
I think the key difference is that frameworks usually hijack your control flow, while library are not.

But is framework necessarily bad or inferior to library? I would like to present React as an example. React heavily regulates the control flow for its developer, leaving several specific hooks to allow you control the timing when your code would trigger.

But React is an excellent piece of software. And assuming in a perfect world, if everything we interact are more or less functional or self-containing, then timing doesn't really matter, and uncertainty is thus controlled.

In the end, the lesson here seems to me is, making good frameworks are much harder than making good libraries. For libraries, you need to make sure the building blocks are solid, but for frameworks you are defining a whole world for people to visit.
I'd trust much more to software in general (and TLS-based crypto in particular) compared to hardware devices.

The TLS vs SGX is a particularly bad comparison. SGX's internal design was not even published, let alone reviewed; and it already had multiple bad exploits.
The TLS design and code has been reviewed by a multiple cryptographers, and the algorithm itself (not implementation) is unbroken.
So that study seems to conclude that the blood concentration of vitamin D varies according to circadian rhythms.

That's an interesting finding, but what I'm saying is that I don't think taking a vitamin D pill has an immediate effect on your body's vitamin D levels. That's why it takes weeks or months of supplementation before you see it reflected in blood tests.
Vitamin D doesn't require FDA approval. It's already rated as GRAS and is prescribed for known benefits.

Is it just me who found the technical description and analogy here lacking?

There's nothing that suggests electrons are a cloud. Yes, a "cloud" defines the probability where they can be found, but electron doesn't occupy the cloud.

Electron is always a point, no matter what wave function it has. Therefore, from this perspective space is all empty.

If you invoke path integrals and infinitely many things bubbling in and out of existence, space suddenly fills up. But the author doesn't even mention that.

If you want to understand this stuff, read up Feynman's descriptions & lectures on QED.

I think conversations can be had with people like him, instead of taking the worst part of their views and ostracizing them for it. I think it is fine to acknowledge angst in the implementation of progressive ideals, that angst will often be mixed in with purely insensitive and uneducated thoughts.

There are productive outcomes possible by parsing and separating those issues.

I think it has been a big mistake of tech platforms - and really the people in the geographical area they are in - to simply be content with deplatforming people, assuming they are irreconcilable. It only emboldens, it doesn't stop the spread of disagreement, and from my perspective there really is a lot of common ground which is really just angst in implementation of progressive ideals.

Woah. There's something deep about the way we describe ideas/ingenuity.

Came here to ask how it compares to juniper. Juniper has been the one part of my stack of crates that's made async difficult for a while now. Building a rust app with full futures support from top to bottom has huge benefits, but support on juniper has been slow in coming (a lot of existing code to move along with it), and the main error being GraphQLError<'a> with a lifetime and no impl of std::error::Error has been a huge nuisance to deal with.

That said, constructing the resolvers with the `#[juniper::graphql_object` macro has been incredibly easy. They used to use some clunky DSL, but since the move it's been great. Don't think I'd consider moving if async-graphql isn't as strong on that, but I won't really know until I try both.

I love 4D graphics.

Many years ago, in my freshman year of college, I wanted to create a 4d space game, and spent about a year grinding out an OpenGL rendering engine. I taught myself the requisite mathematics and realized that my conception of hyperspace as operative in my game, was fundamentally wrong. So I moved on. Still have the code laying around, although I lost the Linux port I ginned up at one point. Really should polish it and release it. :)
