The assumption that economies of agglomeration just don't exist because it's possible to increase remote work seems like wishful thinking.

Hopefully increased remote work eases the diseconomies of agglomeration in expensive areas like SF.
NY is roughly a third of the US cases alone with NYC being the majority within that. While there are many many affected places, that's the one in the worst shape. (The Seattle area had some bad spots in nursing home early on but has since improved significantly.)

But that said, NYC never closed the subway and up until last week were only cleaning the cars every three days. Now they do it every night. The governor required nursing homes to take covid-positive patients despite knowing that old people were the worst hit. When the lockdowns first began, most people treated it as a long weekend and went to bars, restaurants, etc.

While we have evidence that sunlight, hot temperatures, and physical distance all either kill the virus or reduce risk overall, the NYC subway system in March and April is the opposite in all ways.

> UK which has a lockdown policy was quite a bit higher.

No, the UK was following in Sweden's footsteps until forecasts became untenable, by which time a lot of damage had been already done: https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/03/16/905285/uk-droppi...

Compared to its neighbours, Sweden is doing remarkably bad: https://twitter.com/MarkkuPeltonen/status/126113845423635251...

In terms of economy, Sweden's GDP is expected to fall about as much as rest of the EU (~7%).

Go's embedding _is_ composition (has-a) in any other OO language but with a little sugar. Embedding allows the compiler to optimize the memory layout for a composed object and allows you to reference the composed object's fields without a qualifier. For example, if a Student class has-a Address {city, state, zip} then you could refer to the city field by coding aStudent.city rather than aStudent.address.city. It's handy but doesn't otherwise change "normal" composition.

I'm not advocating against inheritance. If it works then go for it. I do when I'm coding in languages that have it. This stemmed from a thread discussing whether the lack of inheritance in Go was sufficient to exclude it from being an object-oriented language.
It looks really interesting. Sadly, it's Mac only.

Does anybody knows of something similar for Windows or Linux ?
So, before the lockdowns it was observed that if actions are successful then some people will claim they weren’t necessary.

Since you seem to be one of those people - what’s your thinking here? Do you really think those numbers (98 deaths and 16 in ICU) would be exactly the same if no action was taken? What’s your mental model of how that would work?
I think about it like this — if I ask a question, someone needs to be interrupted to make that happen. Even if they were on slack anyway, or between tasks, if it’s not something they are otherwise working on, it may take them off their task. If my thing is critical or blocking others, I raise a flag. If it can wait, I wait too. Disruptions are probably one of the most costly time investments of our trade.
This would be odd behaviour of any website for me personally, in some areas data is still precious and limited. Also I'm wired to think that only clicking website would open resources for that website, sometimes I just hover the link to check where that link leads to.

> And if that was not what they thought...

Oh, so you do realize you are speculating about what other people think then? It wasn't clear in your prior comment.

> But let me ask you the question, what is your position on global climate change and renewables?

My position is that until we realize that the problem preventing us from moving forward is not a lack of climate science, but rather a lack of psychological/neurological science, and a lack of widespread knowledge of, and acceptance of, that which we already know...including, or maybe even especially, among the intellectually gifted, like many people right here on HN.

Because of this, I consider the rest of your comment is moot. Doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it makes no difference. We have the same conversations here day after day, year after year, with the same self-important tones of intellectual and moral superiority. And for what? Does anything ever change? You can have a ten phase analysis and it doesn't mean shit at the end of the day if you can't get people to agree on a direction to move in.

If you cared about the environment as much as you think you do, you'd be willing to listen to what I'm saying. And if you were willing to listen to what I'm saying, you'd be the first person on HN. But I suspect, like all the others, you won't...because this is the nature of an uncontrolled Default Mode Network.

An all or nothing approach to auto ends up being silly for reasons of clarity and specificity in types. Auto with compound types makes programs easier to read and write, especially if an IDE is there to expand complex type information. If the type is small, basic, intrinsic, etc. then auto can be a hindrance.
More than 1/3 the fatalities in NY were in nursing homes. Nursing homes in NY were required to readmit recovering patients coming back from the hospital. Thanks Gov. Cuomo!
>Ever heard of a passport

Why are you being this combative? Do you think the person you are replying to has never heard or a passport?

In case you simply don't live here, or are unfamiliar with the US: the freedom to travel in the united states is well established and well protected.
Weirdly enough I actually have a 3D project that I started in C# that I moved over to Go so I have a little experience with it. So far it's been much less painful on the GC front. Basically the GC pauses are around 0.5 ms even on very large heaps [1], so that changes the conversation from "everything must must be manually managed / pooled in a language designed to offer zero help with this in order not to drop frames" to "you'll make frame rate as long as you can leave some performance on the table and don't go crazy on hot paths" which was a lot easier to live with.

It's also much easier to avoid allocations to begin with than C# - pointers can be used as interface types without boxing (and taking interior pointers to fields / array elements is allowed), and it's possible to allocate regular Go objects / arrays in unmanaged memory and feed it into any API.

Obviously it's not really designed for it and the ecosystem isn't there but using it hasn't been completely terrible so far.

HN has veered way off the deep end on Covid. Not every place in the US is NYC.
Peak HN, right here.
Yes, that's correct. There is no mechanism to restrict all internal travel, no federal power to stop people from traveling between states. The FAA can ground flights and stop trains. The various state police forces can set up road blocks at borders.
Well meaning overbearing incompetency seems little better. Has there been a more thorough refutation of the promised land of technocrats than these past couple months?
It’s rarely possible to pass even mildly controversial legislation at the federal level in the US, since you need 60% of senators to agree, and it’s rare for either party to hold that many senate seats.

I think this is the most fundamental misunderstanding that Europeans have about the US political system — they think passing laws is simple and easy (since in most European countries, it is in fact easy for the majority party or coalition to do so), so they wonder why the US doesn’t have various types of common-sense legislation.
Google CSE is a great idea.Tried it in the past.

It's extremely common. It is unclear to me if the mousedown event just kicks off preloading of the page, or actually forces you to navigate to the page. If it's the latter, you are breaking decades of mouse ux changing a click from a mousedown followed by mouseup.
@asabjorn, can't reply directly either, so will wrap up here.

In short, you move the goalposts when your arguments are deconstructed. It's exhausting and never-ending because you appear to be determined that this is about tyranny and will force the data to reach that conclusion.

The pseudoscience veneer has all but completely worn through. You're just lobbing it in now.

1) Your N95 mask arguments are sliding. You've now allowed that even normal breath droplets are larger than the 0.3 "threshold" you'd previously set in your simple mosquito-fence comparison. So, now you're just frantically shoveling in more numbers. It's gotten cartoonish. I won't continue to correct your storm of never-ending misinterpreted data. Bottom line: while obviously imperfect, N95 masks afford protection.

2) >I never claimed no reopened state will see some increases in covid cases, some do and some don't

Unbelievable. You're walking back the entire thrust of your argument across multiple comments and acting as if you still have a point. You initially claimed lockdowns were proven ineffective so all of our energy should've been put into protecting the vulnerable. That's what started this. The words came out of your mouth. It's right up there in your GP posts.

You just gave up the entire basis for your argument and kept typing like nothing happened. This is either willful delusion or bad faith.

Previously, it was this so-called ineffectiveness that was your basis for calling for an end to unnecessary lockdowns. Now, we see that was never the point.

All veneer.

3) You're now doing to the law what you did with science. But, I won't engage in a philosophical legal discussion with you, given your mischaracterization of even hard facts.

4) Those of us who still believe in the rule of law take you seriously and we take seriously those who've gotten in your heads to push our nation towards collapse for their own benefit. But, we will not be terrorized. What the 2A "revolutionary" drones fail to see is that they've been wholly manipulated and the unrest they seek will be met with a response that renders their assault rifles useless.
At what point do we draw the line that a certain number of deaths outweigh a certain amount of human misery or vice versa. In my state they don't even erect a traffic light until a certain number of people have died in that road intersection.
The Future of Warfare in 2030
It's amazing how grossly irrational we are about risk.

We just spent two decades being terrified of terrorism, giving up hard won civil rights and spending trillions on needless wars. Terrorism never even approached the damage caused by a damn bat virus. 9/11 killed about 2000 people and caused a tiny fraction of the economic damage, and that was by orders of magnitude the largest terror attack.

Same goes for random mass shootings, serial killers, most drugs (except maybe fentanyl), street crime, and so on.

It makes more sense to be alarmed about this than any of those things, yet many of the same voices that were in utter panic over that stuff are dismissive of this.
As an Indian, I totally agree
and most of them have a mindset of
a) churning out money or finish something very fast in substandard way from OS projects and that too out of the box and if they cant then rather tuning it they will look for another EASY option
b) being a user of product rather being creative and motivation to create one
It's pretty clear that a positive test is the early symptom for a large percentage of people.

It's also not the interval immediately after infection takes place (your hour later) that matters, it's the period starting a few days later. Get them out of circulation before they have a chance to spread the virus and we can slow it down further than we have till now, even with more activity taking place.
>it triggers the page load when the user starts pressing their mouse

This breaks the standard GUI interaction model. Buttons are typically triggered on mouse-up events, not mouse-down, and there's probably good reasons for that.

Any client-side hacks that attempt to improve the perceived page speed are somehow bound to break something. If there really is a simple way, it's already been implemented at the browser level, for all websites. Link prefetching is already a thing. Do you want fast pages? Make your server-side rendering fast.
Absolutely. This was first posted as a great idea when Hong Kong took the same approach. There have been dozens of countries doing the same thing... just because it’s Russia, who had 9200 new cases today, now it’s evil?
It’s probably waaaaaaaay lower than 1 in 200. Early 20s with no existing conditions is probably closer to 1 in 10,000 once all the asymptotic people are added to the denominator.
Okay so it just sounds to me like careful OOP. Discipline just isn't a paradigm. It's an ethic and it's a good ethic. I love OOP, I've always built systems I was proud of with it. But to do that effectively you do need discipline and you need experience in design. Which most people think they can just skirt blindly by writing procedural code in class wrappers and the system will just magically emerge. This results in even more horrific programs when combined with blind TDD. This has always been nonsense. I don't use much OOP nowadays due to my work prioritizing efficiency and speed. Which OOP fails at miserably. But every now and again I'll find myself doing some monomorphism that looks like vtable dispatch without ever touching heap. And I'll kindly look back on my OOP days.

The title isn't quite accurate. This isn't about SwiftUI at all, or even Cocoa. It's simply how to launch a process with Foundation.

While it's true the new property executableURL isn't documented, the old launchPath was marked as deprecated for 10.13, and the Foundation 10.13 release notes do mention this change.
The worth today and net present value of worth tomorrow are the exact same thing. So I am not quite sure what you mean by "when you see TSLA at $800, that does NOT mean that investors, the market, et. al. are perceiving Tesla as worth that much today or even this decade".
Georgia is a good example of a state that has started to open it's economy and is still seeing a decline in new cases. NPR has been tracking state restrictions and Georgia lifted some restrictions April 24[0] more restrictions were lifted May 1

edit: April 24 was earlier than May 1 for some lifted restrictions.
Right, but they could pass it to other people, so the overall population death rate, about 1 in 200, is the relevant number.

Still not enough to completely stop civilization over, IMO.

Not to mention the fact that we don’t even really know whether the restrictions are actually stopping infections, or just delaying them by a few months.
Without share ownership, there is no business... you can have a business without loans. business generates value. Shares assign ownership. Loans just price risk of capital. Pricing the risk is also a business.
Personally I'm avoiding driving to trailheads and flying someplace seems just way too much hassle/uncertainty about restrictions at the moment to say nothing of any increased risk. (This isn't really a great time of year for hiking in much of the US anyway.) But, with a relatively small number of exceptions for particularly crowded parks/areas, most outdoor areas/trailheads are open in the Northeast US.
Every time I go on some website and see that it's ©2016, I am convinced they've done nothing with it ever since.

You're correct. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Link_prefe...
In case of prefetching, that's a header <link> functionality: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Link_prefe.... Most implementations use it for static content like images or CSS. There's also DNS prefetching, which depends more on the browser.

What you might mean is "prerendering", i.e. silently downloading another page in the background. This feature is not yet supported in Firefox, but heavily used by Google and in Chrome. IIRC, earlier Firefox versions actually supported this through addons, but these addons did not know the page and pre-loaded every link they could find on the page. This resulted in an enormous amount of background traffic, essentially wasted due to only one link being the "next" link. Therefore, using the preload/prefetch/prerender link attributes should be left to the site owner.

Here's a good resource on preload (same page), prefetch (next page) and preconnect (other source domains): https://www.machmetrics.com/speed-blog/guide-to-browser-hint...

I would expect a theory that has been a ‘work in progress’ for some five years now to have a readily available, comprehensible introduction to its basic concepts and motivation at the very least. I am yet to see such.
> Try unravelling that tangled, buggy mess, which looks more like a bowl of angel hair pasta than a finely tuned piece of programming. Industry best practice would have 500 separate files instead. In our commercial reality, we would fire anyone for developing code like this and any business that relied on it to produce software for sale would likely go bust.

Having the code in more or fewer files is orthogonal to how tangled the code is. Files are just containers for classes/functions. In most cases it makes no difference to the architecture of a system over how many files the code is split.

> The approach ignores widely accepted computer science principles known as "separation of concerns", which date back to the early 70s and are essential to the design and architecture of successful software systems. The principles guard against what developers call CACE: Changing Anything Changes Everything.

Again, one doesn't separate concerns over files. You can have code split over 500 files and still have a very nasty case of CACE.

> Without this separation, it is impossible to carry out rigorous testing of individual parts to ensure full working order of the whole. Testing allows for guarantees. It is what you do on a conveyer belt in a car factory. Each and every component is tested for integrity in order to pass strict quality controls.

At the lower levels, one tests functions or classes, not files, so I don't get the argument he is trying to make that the code is not split in enough files.
