A great scenario for this is when there's a power outage for several days. You find other things to do like actually talk to other humans or get out of the house.
I've been using this for a few years now. I deliberately only used it on a kinesis advantage (and typematrix I tried out for a while - lack of ergonomically placed modifier keys killed me though...). I deliberately use QWERTY on laptops and so on, so my fingers retain some memory of that and let me switch back and forth easily.

It took a while to get fast enough to be productive - it's a pain switching layouts.

The nice thing about using a kinesis advantage is that as it re-maps the keys in the keyboard, the computer isn't aware of keyboard mapping at all.

When I was trying out things like the typematrix or a MS keyboard that required drivers etc, it was always a pain getting things like BIOS passwords, login screens, etc. to work reliably.

A lot of people have been talking about herd immunity, but
FHM has been quite clear from the start that they don’t
think herd immunity will make Corona go away.

You are quite simply wrong.

Here is an interview with Anders Tegnell from 16. march:

https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/6j7vaO/anders-tegnell-h...

Flockimmunitet skulle därmed även kunna bli aktuellt i Sverige.

– Vi har varit lite försiktiga med att använda det ordet för det andas ju lite att man har gett upp och det är ju inte alls det som det är frågan om, säger Anders Tegnell.

– Men grundtanken börjar nog bli mer och mer relevant ju mer vi ser av det här viruset, att det är dit vi behöver komma. Vi kommer inte att få kontroll på det på något annat sätt.

Translation:

Herd immunity could therefore also be relevant for Sweden

- We have been a little careful using that word [herd immunity], as it sounds a little like we have given up, and that's not true at all, says Tegnell.

- But the basic idea becomes more and more relevant the more we see of this virus. We need to reach herd immunity. We are not going to be able to control this virus in any other way.

ASCII is a much smaller space of possible operators, so an ASCII-based language is always going to end up significantly more verbose than one that allows non-ASCII symbols. I don't use APL but I definitely appreciate being able to write ≤ or ⊆ or ∀ if that's what I mean, rather than having to expand those out in ASCII.

There's also the fact that school proliferation itself is a relatively recent (~80-100 years) phenomenon; and after that there was a world war, and after said war maybe not everybody could afford to/ had a priority to buy guns ("greatest proliferation in the Western world" does not necessarily equal "proliferation at the same levels as today"). Last by not least, maybe the other factors you mentioned would still result in less shootings if there weren't guns widely available everywhere?
> map() is passing not only the value in the array but also its index as well as a copy of the full array. I use map() all the time but I didn't know about that until I read this article

Then you don't know the basics of the language you're using- how can you complain about it?

> when I use map() I expect it to take each value in the array and pass it to the callback function. I don't expect...

map is well documented. Making the element's index available is indeed pretty useful (the entire array less so, but sometimes it can be).

I did no phone for a year while living really frugally in Guatemala. I chose to do it after an extremely emotionally taxing job to take time to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was in my mid twenties at the time. I found myself way more present, I made lifelong friends and took more risks. Additionally, I had studied French my entire life and my Spanish is better (still not great) without any formal study.
You're too quick on the trigger. Going from a smart device to a smart device that tracks is technologically trivial. If you consider that the problem, you'll end up retreating to the 1800s. That's why I said that surveillance will always be "at our fingertips". I don't think that mass surveillance is for our own good. Why would I call it abuse if I though it were?

There is so much to be said here, depending on where you want to go with this. Maybe you don't need to go full tech-less and stone age yet.

You seem especially triggered by focus issues. What's taking your focus away?

Is it any specific website (I'm looking at you, <social network>). How can you make it less convenient to use that website? Maybe log out every time, or block the dns, or flat out cancel your account.

Is it phone notifications, always pulling you away from the moment you're living? Disable or ignore them. It's pretty hard at first. The key for me was deciding when to direct my attention to my phone. I often put it in airplane mode and throw it in the backpack. Not having it in your pocket beeping all the time helps forget about it.

I quit facebook (and all other social networks, actually) about two years ago. I've been happier ever since. No longer comparing my (not so) hard life to that of others posting vacation pictures. Admittedly, I have recently re-created an account for work purposes. I made sure to unfollow every friend, so nothing is popping up in my feed. Nothing to look at, so I'm not spending time on facebook. It's still useful for one-to-one or group communications, but exposing one's life on it should be considered an offense...

Realistically, it's 2020. You can't get away from some tech, and probably shouldn't. Some parts of my sports actually do _require_ me to have a whatsapp account (damn you whatsapp for not respecting "do not disturb" mode!).

Also if you work in tech, well, no need to elaborate here...

Make it less convenient to waste time. Convenience is key. And turn off notifications/phones when you are busy on something else. Give your full attention to people you are talking to (and if they are on their phone, well it's their loss), other beings you are interacting with, the wind in the trees, or that movie you're watching. Whatever, but do one thing at a time.

This take is interesting. It reminds me of a concept I came up with to explain some behaviors I've observed. I called it "moral entrepreneurship". It's basically a game where the goal is to signal one's virtue in a way that one ups your peers. In order to succeed you have to be creative and do things that, when looked at from the perspective of practicality or effectiveness seem completely preposterous, but when seen from how you can "appear" to be virtuous make complete sense.

I came across this article some time ago:
https://www.concordia.ca/news/stories/2019/09/20/3-concordia...

At first the concept seemed completely ludicrous. Three white researchers from Canada want to "decolonize" science and will try to integrate "indigenous" knowledge into physics. Then I remembered the concept of moral entrepreneurship and it all made sense. The goal is not to advance physics or to achieve "social justice" whatever that means, it is to appear virtuous in a novel way.

Just on a minor note. Having taught programming classes in the past, don't use automated testing for grading, or at least not fully.

First of, there is a lot more to judge in a program than just the correctness of its output. Is the code readable ? Re-usable ? Did the student understood the core concept of the language and used them correctly ?
I saw some student fail to produce a correct program but had a well organized code. On the other hand, one of my student once created a program that was just made of switch instruction in switch instruction (up to 5 level of switches) and spread for more than 3000 lines, just because he failed to understand how function where working.

You can try to plug a linter in your testing stack, a quality gate, all kind of software to measure the code quality, but it will never be truly fair. It will make your evaluation a game where the student challenge is not understanding the concept of the class, but instead, understanding the rules of the various test you put in place. And those rules tend to be even more arbitrary with than the teacher himself.

Trying to automate grading is an engineer trying to apply its vision to education, and it my honest opinion, it is an awful idea. Providing tools to facilitate education is awesome, trying to automate education is a dystopia.
Hey, thanks for the reply. This seems like a good way to start organising my contacts. I have a couple of questions about your system -
1. Do you have one note per contact?
2. Do you lookup the notes each time you want to find out the context about some contact? Seems a little tedious, is it not?
Impressive how quickly they've reacted.
The face and its surroundings are blurred almost to a single colour. The average RGB value of my face might be unique-ish, but if you mix in some variable background, photographed on a camera whose lens has been smeared against the pocket of someone's jeans, the result should be human, not individual.

A side comment: AFAICT what the Signal developers have done is take code that was developed so that the phone camera could autofocus on faces, and and used that code to defocus faces. What a sweet hack.
Thanks for the replies everyone. The sense I'm getting is there's are no magic bullet keyboards out there and the best thing to do is stick with Qwerty and take some lessons. BTW I've seen a kid touch typing one handed at a phenomenal speed, the other hand being taken up with the mouse.

Yes, I got your point but it could be misinterpreted. Plenty of people are quite unaware of where these ideas actually come from, and who deserves credit for them.

Who ends a sentence in French with "ou bien ?" in the 21st century?

Sure. But with sarcasm, which by definition can be misinterpreted, it might help if you actually called it “sarcasm” in addition to “trolling”. This might have helped me understand what was going on.
Would it be practical to take a facial recognition algorithm and use it to warp the identifying characteristics of faces in a scene such that the faces lose enough uniqueness to make facial recognition ineffective?

My understanding of facial recognition is that it operates on relative positions of facial elements. If you can "delete" this uniqueness from the source material by warping faces towards a limited handful of generic shapes, you make the video less useful to Government intelligence.

You could still blur the result, but you might be able to get away with less blur. Remember that it's important to see that people have faces otherwise they can be more easily dehumanised.

Last year, Aricescu’s team used cryo-EM to map the protein to 2.5 ångströms. But with the new kit, the researchers attained a 1.7-ångström resolution, with even better resolution in some key parts of the protein. “It was like peeling off a blur over your eyes,” Aricescu says. “At this resolution, every half ångström opens up a whole universe.”

>> The problem is much more likely that the link between productive work and reward has been completely severed for more than 40 years [0]. If being productive reliably led to being rewarded there would be many less problems. The people being rewarded aren't the people who are producing results. Go look at the late 60s and early 70s to figure out what changed.

I think this is a very good point. I always felt that this was the case when I compared my own generation with my parents' and grandparents' generations.

That's not to say that things were always perfectly fair (especially during my grandparents' time). They never were completely fair, but at least the path to financial rewards was much more clear.
The social contracts around wealth accumulation were always challenging to meet (especially for certain groups of people) but they were somewhat reliable in the sense that if you could meet certain skill requirements, or saved a certain portion of your income, your odds of being rewarded were high.

Today, the social contracts which relate to skill and productivity are totally unclear - The only real social contract which is clear is that if you have capital then you can get more capital.
Saving-up for something doesn't work anymore because of insanely inflationary monetary policy, you can't buy a house anymore (prices are also inflated) and the investment options which deliver returns tend to be both speculative and unethical (monopolistic).

The number of intelligent, highly educated people who are poor and whose careers are uncertain today is unfathomable.
The ratio of poor-productive people to rich-productive people is massive and growing. I don't think this was ever the case before.

The number of rich-unproductive people is constantly growing because they are being selected based on attributes that are not related to their productive abilities. They are parasites on the system. They are enriching themselves by shrinking down the economy through increasing wealth concentration for themselves and their friends. They're earning money not by adding value, but by making it harder for productive people to earn money - This makes them more desperate for money, more vulnerable and more exploitable.

The more rich-unproductive people there are, the less the social contracts make sense and the more people are going to want a reset. There is no limit to mediocrity. There is a point where people will accept an economic reset in whatever form is offered to them (dictatorship, communism, fascism...)
One easy change with major effects (that is law in almost all OECD countries IIRC) would be to have votes only on sundays or official holidays. Having to vote on a work day disproportionally disadvantages workers.

This is Johan Giesecke, a former state epidemiologist (Tegnell is the current state epidemiologist), who has been working closely with Tegnell on the epidemic.

He apparently billed Folkhälsomyndigheten (FHM) for some of his interviews, as he thought himself speaking for FHM.

FHM refused to pay after a journalist inquired into it. They said that interviews was not part of Giesecke's responsibilities. He answered that he had discussed the interviews and what he was going to say, with people in FHM, and therefore considered them part of his consultancy contract.

Here is Tegnell saying there will be herd immunity in may, in swedish:

Oh I agree - nobody should pat themselves on the back until this is over, and even then I'm sure all countries involved could have handled the situation better.

Author of Rational Optimist Explains Why Decentralization Is the Future
@JoeAltmaier I can't reply to your answer directly for some reason, but: to me it is not obvious at all that schools are a primary disease factor.

Most kids show no symptoms when they are infected. AFAIK there is no proof yet that asymptomatic carriers of the COVID virus can contaminate others. And if they do, it might be much less than carriers with symptoms. This is not only my opinion, it was the opinion of Dutch virus experts as well at the time the decision was taken to close schools. That was a political decision, based on the fear that lived among people to send their kids to school.

But instead of opinions it is better to talk about facts, and now that schools are reopening everywhere we have plenty of those. And the facts are showing that reopening the schools does not significantly increase the number infections.
Add some usage examples if you really wanna communicate the value of this. I recommend video.
