You accuse me of misrepresenting while doing it yourself and provide outliers to justify your point:

1) N95 effectiveness:

Edit: parent seem correct that it protect others against sneezes as long as it doesn’t leak out through sides due to sneeze velocity. See NIH links below [2,4].

However, if a person have virus particles on mask and touch it before touching other surfaces the mask may be a liability.

Then again, it seems more effective to isolate the sick than put masks on all.

2) I said that the dire scenario used to justify lockdown or the one in NYC, has not been seen in any reopened or never locked down states. I also said isolating the vulnerable seem sufficient.

I never claimed no reopened state will see some increases in covid cases, some do and some don't. I also did not say that the 7 states that never closed down experienced no covid scenario, but that they showed isolating the vulnerable was sufficient.

3) Lockdown measures have deprived rights under the color of law [3], violating rule of law, and enough of us will support each other to take full recourse under the law. The law I cited [3] show that the officials enforcing unconstitutional measures risk jail.

Enough of us will not accept when governors retaliate after loosing court cases [7], or when judges try to enforce unconstitutional lockdowns [8] or take on a prosecutorial role [5,6]. Or fine or jail people for exercising their constitutional rights. This is the definition of lack of rule of law. You are on the wrong side of history.

4) Yes, we will exercise our first amendment right to freedom of speech and if that fails we will exercise our second amendment right/responsibility to protect our liberty. Again, you are the one arguing against how the American democracy works.

Typical Excuses Made by Programmers and What They Mean
Just buy land to deprive society of assets, charge people to live there, and spend the stolen labor on whatever nonsense you like.
You're exaggerating. There's nothing complicated in the code - it looks straightforward to me, and I've never written an "atlas packer". The only slightly confusing line is the one before the last: I believe you should not use side-effects when unpacking the fold expression; if you need an external state, use a proper loop construct (EDIT: although, to be fair, it might be impossible in this case, unless you can reify the fold into runtime, or get a special-purpose loop). But everything else is straightforward, and I could understand the algorithm just fine. The higher-level constructs, which people seem to hate in this thread, make the code shorter and more general, and also very familiar to people using (properly) higher-level languages - for example, the code here is very similar to how you'd write a macro using syntax-rules in Scheme. If it performs the same or better than other, more explicit and verbose, ways of writing the same algorithm, then it's a win overall, and the approach should not be dismissed just because you're not familiar with the features used. Well, I managed to read this snippet just fine while I don't know modern C++ at all (last worked with C++ when Y2K was still a thing), so a professional C++ developer should be able to grok this effortlessly.

The most annoying thing on a daily basis for me with JIRA is how slow it is. It seems like a cloud hosted one and a self hosted one are are equally slow. By slow I don't mean abysmally slow, but every action typically takes 500-750 ms. And if you use it regularly, that makes doing stuff a chore.

> Only a tiny fraction of those with COVID-19 are admitted to the hospital

What is your definition of tiny?

My country is running an antibody study. Preliminary results are around 1-2% fatality rate. I wouldn't call that tiny, and the hospital admission rate is obviously higher.
It means that people that have the at least one common antibody from exposure to the common cold as those that have had COVID-19.

The implication (in the best of all possible worlds) is that the antibodies that fight common cold also fight COVID-19. Or it could be a simple correlation and not significant.

One take, from Robin Popplestone, long ago in comp.lang.functional: “… it does seem to me that … OOP represents the discovery by the mainstream community that it is a good idea to associate code with data, but, since they still don't know how to do closures, they have bodged it.”

That is not something you want in modern C++. Quite the opposite, in fact, and many projects avoid Boost for that reason.

Templates should be used when needed, no more.
A lot of commercial software such as Windows and Photoshop do this, and it must have been approved by legal. So I suppose this is currently considered the best way to do it.

A range like 2002-2020 conveys two ideas: that the work has been around for a while, and that it is still maintained. Both are important for corporate folks who want an assurance of stability.
Jira supports the kind of software management that has become ubiquitous in our industry. So one "needs" tools to create burndown charts and the like. This is now a multi-million dollar industry, and Atlassian is all-in for it.

The main reason @case is an example macro is that data classes did not exist when this project was conceived
Yes, but they could have other risks due to existing medical conditions. It's an arms race between the speed of replication of the invading virus, and the immune system's ability to respond. Existing conditions add many complications.

If they interact regularly with family and were long exposed to commonly circulating viruses (e.g. from kids), they would have a resilient/diverse immune system. This assumes a healthy diet with no deficiencies (Vitamin C, D, Zinc).

Another complicating factor is the content of flu vaccines.
As others have pointed out, the big problem of async/await is that it splits the world in two kinds of functions that can't call each other.

For example, in Python you have this http client library called `requests`. It's very easy to use, but it is synchronous and you can't use it in when doing async/await. Instead you have to use a similar library called aiohttp. And it's like that for every single library or function doing any sort of IO, you need two versions of everything. Same thing happens in Node.js. You have `spawn` which is asynchronous and `spawnSync` which is synchronous. And so on.

And it doesn't stop with functions, this division goes across the language it self. For example in Python you have a `for` loop and an `async for` loop. Same in JS, you have `for` and `for await`. C# also has it's own `await forech` construct. It's like splitting the world for no reason.

The great advantage of Loom is that you don't need a parallel language, you can use the same http clients, database clients, filesystem libraries that you were using in a synchronous world, but now you will be able to use concurrently in millions of virtual threads.

As the article mentions, the whole reason why async/await was invented, is because doing concurrency with kernel threads is very expensive. They are slow to create and they use a lot of memory. Using Promises and an event loop you can run multiple concurrent operations in a single OS thread. This gives you the chance to achieve much more concurrency than running one operation per OS thread. The problem is that this changes the way you program a lot. Your code is not sequential anymore, your error handling is different, even some conditional operations are different. Async/await is just some syntactic sugar created to make this looks like the regular programming model. It makes the function calls look sequentials (by adding an `await` prefix), it makes the errors look like exceptions, it makes the for loops look like regular for loops. But this is just appearance. It's something that looks similar, but it's different, and that's why you can mix it with regular code.

Loom model is closer to Go and Erlang.

Java won because of its humungous and stable standard library with the full backing of Sun (and Sun was huge presence at the time). It was quite a joy to have pretty much all the functions you could ever need (not really but it felt like it at least) at your fingertips without having to do manual dependency management.

As a technology it really didn't have much to give. Object Pascal was born in 1986, Ada in 1980 with language support for design by contract, JIT with Lisp in 1960 and Java came in 1995.

>In the European space, protection of smaller business' ability to compete is factored in.

While you can't say "X applies universally to the whole europe", i'm pretty sure this is mostly false.
A european business has to endure a lot more bureaucracy and self-manage security issues than rely on the "European Union" for these "protections".

The US has a lot of more booming businesses precisely because the lack of regulations and less gov. involvement.This can be a double-edged sword, meaning the gov. can let a business go bankrupt(unless ofc. the gov. can gain something by keeping the company afloat).

Also, when a company in Europe gets to the status of "monopoly"/corporation, usually(specially in poorer countries) it quickly gets nationalized.When that happens, the profits don't grow as quickly(though the stability of the company gets linked to the stability of the country's economy).

I write realtime audio software for Linux, and have done so for 20 years.

While your goal is admirable - it certainly is possible to come up with scenarios where "sub-ms" latency is desirable - it's really not relevant.

Your stated goal ("...lots of DSP ... under 10 msec") is already entirely achievable on Linux, assuming you're close enough to your speakers (or wearing headphones).

But sub-msec can only make sense here if it describes scheduler latency, since there's no audio hardware that can function in the sub-msec range. The linux scheduler is way, way below that threshold and SCHED_FIFO threads will see that performance barring hardware issues (c.f. https://manual.ardour.org/setting-up-your-system/the-right-c...)

Finally .... writing audio software is a lot of fun. But please don't just jump in without seeing if you can instead contribute to an existing project first. The field is littered with the dead and half-dead corpses representing the discarded work of developers who thought it would be fun, and then moved on.

No it doesn't mean that at all. What this is telling you and what media has been avoiding saying is that coronavirus is a family of viruses that make up the common cold. It's not the only virus that's lumped in as the common cold but it is one kind. Coronavirus isn't new, covid19 is just a previously unknown variation.

What is paper is saying is that previous exposure to coronavirus (the common cold) grants some level of immunity to covid19.
Classic conflation of the effects of a pandemic itself with the measures taken to fight it.
