> I'm a developer, I can make any awful code pass any test I want.

How is that statement exclusive to TDD or something that makes TDD unviable?

TDD isn't about trying to pass some tests no matter how. It's supposed to make you think through the problem and define the interfaces before writing the actual code, when it's still very easy to rearrange and adapt the structure. So that the end result is not awful in the first place.

I've been having my eye on an LG 43UD79B [0] for a couple of months, that I would use both as a monitor and as a TV.

It has 4 HDMI inputs and a USB-C with display port. It even has a remote.

It's an IPS panel though. From what I hear not everyone loves those.

Amazon has it in France for around €600.

That's not really true. Every custom built tool receives some form of training. Easily accessible designs lend themselves more for getting right into and learning by doing as a lot is self-explanatory and the user isn't overwhelmed. On the other hand, nice designs with lots of space, often also end up with slow response times and lots of scrolling of clicking, making certain work quite tedious.

As the parent comment said, software should really be built for the user and not just so everyone and their children can use it (unless that's your target group).

Financial terminals don't have the super nice designs to it, but they are highly functional, customizable and fast. A lot of cashier terminals are still running on old hardware with bad designs, yet they are highly functional.

I think there's always room for improvement and with every change you'll see a certain amount of push back, but I think it's important to consider the user and not write "simplified" software, when you have power users in front of you.

It's not just a problem of lack of data, it's a problem of composition of data. If there's a signal that increases your accuracy for asian faces and decreases it for caucasian faces, in systems deployed in China the system weights will be adjusted one way, in systems deployed in Europe you'll get the other way, and Asians in Europe and Caucasians in China will get bad performance. Maybe people don't care about that, but wait until that performance difference is between black and white people in America.

What do you mean? The potential of a war breaking out? IIRC before the war started many countries happily traded with and weren't all that critical of Germany.
True. Just Bergamo. Which changes nothing in my argument. But there's a claim that results were from sufficiently large and random sample: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thejakartapost.com/amp/news...

If that's true then my argument still holds. How can 80% not get antibodies if they were detected in 57% of large random sample of some population?
Sure if you repeat endlessly a task which is not related to the objective, it may fail to prove successful (without much surprise)

If people are utilizing study strategies in this vein, then it's certainly a fair argument by the author.

For the record, I made the same mistake of mistaking passive reading as knowledge acquisition.

The Holocaust happened during WW2, and mostly towards the end. The biggest armies ever assembled were actually actively trying to stop the Nazis you'll remember.

And while persecutions against Jews were nothing new, the nature and extent of the actual genocide was definitely not publicized. It's well documented how the Nazis scrambled to hide their deeds, however late. Note how they summarily executed rural Jewish populations in Soviet territories, but deported those in urban or Western locations to remote camps.

The reason why you'd think otherwise is because of a desire to further blame the German population at large at the end of the war. Not that they didn't deserve plenty of blame and were largely complicit, but I believe it's now pretty clear Nazi leadership knew it would have been too controversial should the truth of what was going on had been widely known.

To wit, right after a concentration camp was liberated, the US general in charge forced the mayor of the nearby town to visit the camp (https://www.scrapbookpages.com/DachauScrapbook/DachauLiberat...). He and his wife then promptly committed suicide. Hard square that with the nature of the genocide being public knowledge.

Most people who do not spend much time out of doors in sunshine should take vitamin D3 supplements according to my doctor. Especially in the winter in high latitudes. As far as I can tell this is standard national health service advice here in Norway, so some governments are promoting it but not specifically for COVID-19.
The first, most obvious, difference is the relative competence of economic planning.
I saw this on the national evening news today, and was flabbergasted at its insinuation.

The immediate thing that baffled me was why they thought, a year-over-year count of cars in a hospital parking lot, was an indication of an early coronavirus outbreaks, which again, China was concealing from the world.

The news report only said they analyzed 1 year. Did they do it over several months? Or did they do it over 60 months, which might be a better sampling over time. Who knows. But that evidence is rather circumstantial.

Did they also consider that Wuhan doesn’t have as many local clinics, so when someone gets sick, they all go to the same central hospitals, for everything. This is also what added to the problems in Wuhan with the initial outbreak.

Then, regarding the increases in search queries for diarrhea and cough, two symptoms of the virus. But I’m sure searches for coughs go up annually during flu season anyways. I don’t think internet searches from random people over the internet, is a very good signal for anything, and may just be adding noise to the data anyways.

A good argument, but not applicable for people practicing self-harm.

A quotation from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-harm below:

“Those who engage in self-harm face the contradictory reality of harming themselves while at the same time obtaining relief from this act.

It may even be hard for some to actually initiate cutting, but they often do because they know the relief that will follow. For some self-harmers this relief is primarily psychological while for others this feeling of relief comes from the beta endorphins released in the brain. Endorphins are endogenous opioids that are released in response to physical injury, acting as natural painkillers and inducing pleasant feelings, and in response to self-harm would act to reduce tension and emotional distress. Many self-harmers report feeling very little to no pain while self-harming and, for some, deliberate self-harm may become a means of seeking pleasure.”
it's a consequence of how people handle complexity

here we call it the deer - headlight problem. why doesn't the deer dodge? because it's a novel situation, he's under pressure to understand and there's no frame of reference for instincts to take over

same with non driven users (users that aren't doing a specific job) having a novel interface, they don't know which operations and options are irreversibile and so get frozen trying to understand everything the computers tells them at once and once they're overwhelmed they just get stuck

giving UX air is a good catchall that both forces you to parcel only what's important for your user and help user not getting overwhelmed by options

a more detailed advice would be to present branching decisions in order of commitment and only showing the relevant options at each step, but more whitespace is a good rule of thumb because it forces you into wizards without becoming a mouthful like this one, and gives you enough agency to come up with alternatives design to wizards of you can get by with other representations of the data to be manipulated
If we take Australia's case of billions of masks (let's say 2 billion, conservatively), and assume that each average Joe bought let's say 20, the actions of the Chinese government are equal to *one hundred million average Joes", not thousands of them. For one country.

It's mighty noble to donate to Italy after they confiscated all the inland mask production and bought tons of masks from everywhere else. And then they also pressured European politicians to prasise the communist party when receiving said donations.

Not every institute, just the WHO and to some limited extent a few others. Stop setting up this straw man, because that's clearly not the case for me and I listed some organizations which I do trust - because they've proven that they're competent.

Experts can be wrong, sure they can. But if their literal job is to protect us from such pandemic situations and they fuck up, they deserve some criticism.

If they persist in not recommending masks when already most countries are recommending them, like the WHO did until 1-2 weeks ago, they are uselessly incompetent and should be ignored.
I've seen a lot of engineers that rely on their intuition and end up just creating shit that works and is surprisingly maintainable. I've also seen a lot of different ideas on what a "clear and sound thought process" is.

In fact, someone who is clear and sound in writing might get bogged down when writing code. Good writers are (obviously) not necessarily good coders.

I do think there is potential around the design doc. Design is a big part of a lot of roles. In addition, in a lot of these roles, having the "best" design isn't better than having a design that the rest of the team can understand. Still, I wouldn't do it for the purpose of identifying good "thinking". I would do it because I expect the people I hire to be good (or have potential) at what they will be expected to do.

It used to be that "Apple should buy Netflix" for several years, on and off. Now this. Analysts have always misunderstood Apple, what it focuses on and what it will not do. They come up with meaningless recommendations that Apple will not even spare time for an elevator pitch.

Wherever Apple sees any deficiencies, it works by secrecy, non-acceptance (or denial, like "you're holding it wrong", depending on the case) and creating its own way out of it without any or barely any acknowledgment of deficiencies (or wrong doing, as the case may be).

I personally believe that, more than having a search engine, Apple would be better off with an online maps solution (including navigation) that anybody could use, regardless of their hardware and OS. It has already opened up it's iWork suite on the cloud for everyone with a browser. Would Apple consider such a move with maps (though it's a very weak competitor in most countries outside the US)? I don't think so.

Also DuckDuckGo is nowhere close to Google's results for many intents and purposes (I know anecdotally many people find it extremely useful). Apple buying it would be a dead investment not just for this reason, but also because Apple doesn't really know how to manage and run certain online services well
> Yeah and these "perceived threats" include kids with toy guns, unarmed people with their hands up, and people lying on the ground dying.

Yes, unfortunately, those people were perceived as threats and the officers involved weren't taking any chances.

Those are, for the most part, accidents. How many children are run over because people are carelessly driving? Would you ban cars for everyone?

> Many cops have learned, whether through training or culture, to point their guns first and ask questions later, at a huge cost to society.

Yes, many people have had bad training or are just not made for the job. These are still people whose lives are at the frontline and they aren't even paid that well. I don't think the solution is to defund or disarm everyone involved.

> It seems you don't have sympathy for the people affected by this, but many of us do.

This is a disingenuous statement. You have to look beyond some exceptional and sensationalized cases, at the day-to-day reality of policing. If you disarm the police, they will stop policing those areas that are affected by crime the most. Criminals with guns will get free reign. More people will get shot, just not by cops.

More affluent people will not be affected by this, they could have it either way, it wouldn't make a difference. Their sympathy may be real, their intentions may be good, the outcome will still be bad.

> I have a lot of sympathy for police too. They have a dangerous and thankless job, and we all rely on them. But my sympathy ends at those who abuse their power, and those who protect the abusers in their midst.

I think we can all agree on this.

Am I missing this or the % in the 23aM page are not considering the proportion of the different types in the population?

Also given that there seems to be an important coagulation component in the disease, this can make sense.

But interesting enough, this is not too obvious. Because O type blood has both Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies, so if there was something in the virus that looks like the A or B antigen this would make sense, but it's the opposite.

The whole point of my post was to point out an alleged flaw in your discursive approach, but I was genuinely trying to temper my language. It's clear I didn't do a good enough job of that. For the record, I don't think a priori morality is an unreasonable belief, I just think there are other compelling theories and that if we want to talk about other moral issues we have to be willing to find common ground in spite of metaethical disputes. There are many philosophers I greatly respect whose beliefs I would also call naive.

Agreed, if you can size it, you can specify the right memory for a host for an app. There are plenty of situations where you've got dedicated hardware and a suitable budget and you can do size the hardware correctly.

If however you have something like kubernetes, your apps move across hosts, you have memory scaling with use (e.g connections) and you have no idea what the load on the app will be, it becomes basically impossible to right-size the memory so other strategies come into play. Monitoring becomes king at that point.

I agree that the numbers don't match up and the country is almost certainly more infected than we think, but we cannot know how widely infected we are until we've done the testing! Even the death rate has a factor of two variance between "definitely COVID" and "excess deaths".

The failure to ramp up testing is yet another thing to blame the poor government response for.
