This is why those at risk of death should self-isolate.

Do you know where I can find the statistics for the risk of permanent lung scarring by age, or something approximating this? This is something I hadn't considered but would like to explore more.

It's almost entirely getting DDoSed by old people.

Employers are firing everyone. We're hitting some of the highest unemployment levels in American history. This is a moot point.

I recently wondered if you can take your saliva, or blood, and get a diffraction scan of it.

Kind of like a spectrograph. You’d feed this into a machine learning system, and it would match up your pattern against a known dataset.

This might allow for faster identification and recognition, of known viruses and diseases.

Especially if the technology can identify the virus from just your spit.
When you say GraphQL hasn’t made sense to you, do you mean as a api consumer / frontend developer or do you mean as someone who has to build The graphql api?

The benefits for api consumers and frontend developers are quite clear. Easier ergonomics to explore the API and ability to collocate data fetching alongside UI components to automatically have a graphql api client optimise the data fetching required to load a screen/page itself itself.

The benefits of building a graphql api/service do seem harder to evaluate.

@9nGQluzmnq3M don't mean to mock you. It more that it sparked a general observation that seems to be the case now dasy . It is how 'funny' it is that now days we tend to all a lot of stuff AI. Back in the days pre-internet days, this is just some kind of preferences we stored per user bases. I can see that the IT industry is a lot of what is in fashion.
How often I re-evaluate applications, you mean? I would say it happens somewhat regularly; if there's something I miss with one I switched from, or if I hear or read something good about an application I stopped using.
> Not sure what is meant by 'Herculean'. Once you know how to do it, you don't lose that knowledge. You literally have the code to use on the next project. No big deal

The problem with this is that even if your code is 100% bug free and works perfectly, new platforms are created all the time. The PS5 is coming out in a couple of months - does your crossplatform code target that? Unity does. How about the Switch? How about VR? How about Webassembly?
Bloggers might be interested in knowing… we're bringing back iBlogger for iPhone (and now, iPad) this week, an all-new product built in Swift for iOS 13. The core text posting features will be free for all blog types (WordPress compatibility in this new release), with a subscriber In-App Purchase option to keep the product in active development.

If you want to join the TestFlight which will start within the next few days, find @illumineX on Twitter.

(I founded illumineX in 1998, and iBlogger was one of the first apps on the iPhone App Store in 2008.)
Have you tried making an installable PWA? This should allow you to get an icon, notifications, and a separate window.
Because it’s not, that’s why I pointed to xscreensaver feature implementation. Lock time is separate from screensaver activation time which is separate from energy saving activation time.

What defines when a locking screen saver is “locked”? 10m? Or 10m1s? You are making assumptions and that is what DISA spells out. Which forces the OS design to change in subtle ways. Like xattrs on files as great grand op was alluding to.

Does that provide clarity into how development security models evolve over the lifetime of an application?
Another way to look at it is that Apple is moving towards a future where all software for the mac must be purchased from the app store.

Sidewalk delivery robots.

The problem is a lot easier that driverless cars (everything is slower and a remote human can take over in hard places) and huge potential to shake up the short-to-medium distance delivery business.

> I'm sure there's a word coined for these 'death of Apple' posts.

I’m not aware of a term, but I’ve observed two distinct variations, and they’re hardly exclusive to Apple commenters. They are “<successful company> is doomed” and “<successful company> lost me as a customer.”

While the two often share points of contention, the former always makes the case that these points constitute a blind spot that will lead to the company’s downfall, while the latter focuses on how these points are at odds with their own needs or preferences.

Valid as any of their arguments may be, the focus of these pieces invariably seems to be companies that go on to greater successes, in spite of these supposed blind spots or losing a subset of vocal customers. Somehow “Blackberry is doomed” never caught on as a genre, while Apple’s doom never seems to go out of fashion.

At 2% efficient and 0 cost they would probably be more expensive than current when looking at total installed cost for commercial/residential, maybe even utility.

You can see even at utility scale the panel prices are generally less than 50%.[1] I think 2018 increase was tariff related. Been out of the industry ~5 years so don't follow stuff that closely. Many of the other costs are basically a multiple of # of panels which would be 10x at 2% efficiency.

No, there's definitely a climate of anti-immigration. There's been plenty of actions recently to make it harder for people to legally immigrate, like increased RFE's and H1b denials, suspension of green card issuance and a rumoured plan to stop OPT for F-1 students. Ask yourself this: do you think the climate supports increasing or decreasing the level of migration? Imo the legal/illegal immigration distinction is meaningless because you can _change_ what is legal or illegal. Someone who is "against illegal immigration but for legal immigration" could hold any belief from "we should have zero family-based migration" to open borders.

In other words - the backlash over excessive data storage and retention is very much good thing, but let's be careful to try keep things in perspective a bit. Otherwise we run the risk of people not taking us seriously when it actually matters.

This is such a great example of human psychology and our ability to adapt to new paradigms. The amazing thing about the four minute mile, is once someone broke the previously thought impossible barrier, we had high school kids routinely running four minute miles within a few years.

I think it also says something about how hard it is to truly do something unique and break new trail. But, it opens things up for the rest of humanity. It takes a special person.

Oh totally, I'm not gonna pretend that it wasn't because I knew how to organize an Angular project.

That said, I know how I'd manage multiple projects via NX, and knew the rules to effectively maintain this project for the foreseeable future.

I really do love Vue, but I need structure, because as a human I have terrible memory. I don't love unit testing, and I barely love integration testing, so strict typing and good naming is key to my style of coding.

I hit a wall with Vue, which I've similarly hit with AngularJS, at some point I hit a level of complexity that Angular doesn't allow, but Vue does.

I don't think Apple should be held to a "no mistakes" standard, but for the last few years, the trend has been toward less functionality and more user-hostility.

Take the drop of 32 bit support. There are now huge swaths of software, software that I paid a lot of money for, that I can no longer use if I buy new Apple hardware or upgrade to the latest MacOS.

There are bright spots, too. The new keyboards are much, much better than the butterflies, and the physical escape key is a welcome return.

But in general, when Apple announces something new, I'm worried about what they're going to take away from me, not what they're going to start offering.

Experience working with 3rd party APIs (Shopify, Pinterest, etc..)
Experience with writing Nightwatch or Testcafe or Protractor
Not at all. I hate ads with a visceral passion. They are a theft of my time/attention for which I am not compensated.

No website has a right to exist, same with businesses. Nor do they have a right to my attention. People all cry 'the world will die without ads!'... no. Some of us have been around since the Internet started. All sites were free and no ads (banner ads came later, and were mostly static)-the sites full of passion, hours poured in for no financial gain. The difference is that now we have a generation of young people who feel entitled to make money off everything.

Now, the tracking is most definitely an issue, but first and foremost for myself and many others is the hatred of any and all ads. Life really is different without them. If someone comes up with an ear/eye implant to block all ads (tv, radio, billboards all of it) I'd pay whatever it cost.

APFS was not designed for spinning disks. No, they won't fix it; because they don't even sell a computer that ships with only a spinning disk (asterisk on the iMac's hybrid drive). HFS+ is still available, just use it if you need to format a spinning disk. I think this is a very different type of issue, with much more reasonable trade-offs.

I think he addresses the irony that their products are no good, but still they will continue to do good business:

"Apple isn’t going to lose because something better came along; it is going to lose because it shat the bed repeatedly for so many years that people like me are no longer going to want to sleep with it. "
...
"Somehow, the fact that this "loss" isn’t actually going to hurt their bottom line in any significant way makes it all the more tragic. Apple will continue to rake in billions selling its overpriced portable devices — which surely bring as much suffering and ennui to the world as they do pleasure — while folks like me that have owned Macs for literally decades (since 1994 in my case), just want to craft beautiful and useful things, move off the platform."
I agree that the non-pro iPad delivers the best pen experience for price. Surface Pro’s pen is pretty good, but IMO it is slightly worse than the iPad, while being more expensive.

Software wise, the iPad has way more pen focused productivity apps than Windows. On Windows, you are mostly limited to OneNote. Although Drawboard is pretty good for annotating PDF’s.

There isn't enough surface area on vehicles for that to happen.

The world installed about 117 gigawatts (peak) of solar PV last year [1]. If the average panel is 17% efficient that's more than 680 million square meters of panels being manufactured per year. World motor vehicle production in 2018 was 96 million [2]. To put more solar panels on vehicles than we already put in fields and on rooftops, the average vehicle would need more than 7 square meters of surface covered with panels. That's neglecting that most vehicles are still internal combustion vehicles that couldn't do much with the electricity those panels would generate.

> There was no widespread outbreak of panic across the United States in response to Orson Welles's 1938 radio adaptation of H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds. Only a very small share of the radio audience was even listening to it, and isolated reports of scattered incidents and increased call volume to emergency services were played up the next day by newspapers, eager to discredit radio as a competitor for advertising. Both Welles and CBS, which had initially reacted apologetically, later came to realize that the myth benefited them and actively embraced it in later years.

I also had no idea this was something that needed to be stated in order to correct a common misconception:
