Sub-Saharan Africa continues to be the region with the highest under-five mortality rate in the world—78 deaths per 1,000 live births. In 2018, 1 in 13 children in sub-Saharan Africa died before reaching her or his fifth birthday—15 times higher than the risk for children born in high-income countries. [1]

The West is pretty much avoiding that specific scenario.

Better, quicker, cheaper testing is the most robust way to fight Covid19, even if the tests are not perfect. If a combination of testing technology and isolation protocols is good enough to get the "R" number below 1, then job done.

Having some false negatives is OK. Too many false positives is not so good, because then you are isolating people who don't have any disease.

Vaccines can have bad side-effects, especially if you try to develop them in a hurry.
The same with medicines.

Anything you have to put inside your body has the potential to cause a problem worse than the disease.

on the same note; the"decreasing information density" I don't think would be a problem if you're switching between the "terminal/IDE/browser/excel". the "table views" still seem fairly "compact" so..? /shrug

I think it is a good service and might actually feel good for the celebrity even outside of the money aspect. I used it to have a minor celebrity from my wife's favorite show wish her a happy birthday. She loved it. I would be interested to hear how a celebrity feels about doing that kind of stuff but I would think it feels good to make someone's day better.

Have you ever bought a house? More than one?

That real estate agent is feeding you a line of baloney. If you aren't interested in a house you don't go looking at it. If you want to buy a house before you even step foot in it, you're a fool.

Would you buy a house that way?

I agree with the OP commenter here. Silicon Valley advice is a load of malarkey. Focus on the customers. Focus on your market. Stop listening to stupid advice.
Death rate is down because the average age of people getting COVID is younger, it’s already been documented and talked about quite a bit. Doesn’t mean they won’t get lifetime lung damage and that they won’t eventually re-infect the older folks at risk.

Hey all! I built this site after seeing Apple's WWDC Keynote this morning. Apple is announcing new Privacy Disclosures in iOS 14 and I thought it was such a great idea that I adopted it for the Web.

I added in the environmental impact because it's important to me and I think more sites should start thinking about it. I myself have recently started migrating my services over to renewable-powered hosting.

Edit: typos
Why does it make sense to compare it with the world population?
I think it reflects the hardware design language from the iPad and iPhone (and Mac honestly) across the whole software stack now. Although that doesn't stop me from not liking it :p
This is the best comment here. Absolutely right. Take advice with a grain of salt. Focus on your customers.

And yet, aren't we nearly on to Unreal 5?

I'd much rather write C# than C++, but I'm a big believer in just adopting whatever is standard practice for the space your in. It's a great opportunity to learn the language, and you'll benefit more from a community's collective wisdom.

Edit: But this is still really cool and potentially useful.
If we proceed on the assumption that exposure to higher viral load correlates to more severe symptoms and fatality, I think the trend can be attributed to the drop in viral load averaged over those being infected.

1. At the start of the pandemic, the older and more vulnerable were affected disproportionately. These patients had a high viral load.

2. Patients with more severe symptoms are now isolating at home or at hospitals. Previously they may have been contributing to serious super-spreader like situations.

3. PPE/Mask usage is more common now and these are possibly protecting most people against high exposure

4. Antivirals could be reducing the length of stay at hospitals and protecting workers from higher exposure

In other words, the virus is spreading but in a less severe form. However, I don't think fundamentally different (less virulent) mutations are the contributing to the lower death rate.
Hi sho,

Yes, this is embarrassing...

We found the issue, it is a setting in Apache. This is due to the torrent of traffic we just received. We were not expecting it, but there it is. We are fixing the cause now and everything should be back up and running very soon.

It is actually good it happened during Beta. That's a "bug" that we can now fix.

EDIT: Fixed. If you get some time, please try the service and let us know what you think so far.

#FunFact: I started the Selenium project. My first job out of college was at PeopleSoft. I left PeopleSoft and went "in-house" as the PeopleSoft admin at ThoughtWorks. A few years later, Selenium came out as a side-project for another internal system we needed. But when we were rolling out Selenium and dreaming up "world domination plans", one of my mine was to get a copy of Selenium to ship with every copy of PeopleSoft (supplanting the free copy of SQA Robot that PeopleSoft shipped by default). Anyway, I never really pursued that particular "plan", but here we are.

In 1993, the California Republican Assembly (a conservative activist group chartered by the state party) passed a resolution declaring illegal immigration to be an economic positive for the state of California. A year later the party decided to go all-in on anti-immigration hysteria and paid for some disturbingly racist ads ("they keep coming"). This gave them short-term gains politically but by the 2010s the Republican party fell into permanent minority status with little prospect for even reaching the level to keep the democrats out of supermajority status in the near-term future.
You have a point but it’s pretty clear that most companies don’t care about PWAs and the ones that have PWAs they treat as a funnel to their App Store application. It’s pretty clear that the industry doesn’t want PWAs, it wants easier ways to get users to install their native application. This is a pretty decent solution.

The Computers of Nature
That's not how the quote is said above. The real estate agent says the client has decided on the house before they step foot in it. I have bought and sold many a house and I've never made a decision that way.

I have helped both my mother and some elderly folks with their computers and have a few observations which may be of some help.

1) UI changes really bother them. A lot of that crew works on muscle memory -- an icon moves and they get lost. They don't easily re-parse a new UI for changes.

2) Click speed decreases, so double-clicks are much harder. A single deliberate click is fine, but the doubles seem to pose problems.

3) The iPad doesn't seem to work for some. When I found there was no easy cheat sheet available (the ones I found seemed either insufficient or were focused on trivia/new-hotness), I made a series of laminated sheets. One described the various screens, one pointed out the parts of an iPad (controls, mostly). The third showed the different "gestures" (the important ones, anyway). This just ... didn't take. She doesn't care for it. Possibly due to #1 -- I am considering getting a laptop and using Classic Shell to fake that it is XP just so she feels comfortable again.

4) Visual acuity varies widely but you're probably on top of that.

5) Plugging things in can be problematic, so some kind of easy docking station or wireless charging might be better if available.

Honestly Unreal doesn't use a crazy amount of modern C++ features on the gameplay programmer facing portion.

Near term availability of a vaccine seems like wishful thinking. The data is noisy, but some of it indicates antibodies to the virus are short lived. That would implicate the usefulness of a vaccine.

PPC was complicated by coming after years of failing to have decent chips actually ship. In this case, Intel and AMD are both still heavily invested in pushing x86 forward and Apple doesn’t have to do all of the work maintaining things like compilers or the JVM so it’d be a lot easier to keep that option alive if there was a good enough reason.
If you actually believe running the App Store is the same as payment processing alone there is no discussion to be had with you.

Silvers gone up. Golds gone up. Probably various fixed costs had to be further invested in the form of contracts with fabs or new fabs built. Etc. But really the Mac mini is more of a modern likeness to the G4 cube which retails now for a 800$ start, less than half the g4 cubes starting price.

It was before your time, kid. (1) I think you underestimate the early web by quite a bit. It had a lot more awesome than you give it credit for, and if not for dot-com bubble + bust, it would have evolved in a much more thoughtful way (2) And dot-com boom and growing developers 1000x didn't need to involve Netscape, Microsoft/IE, or the W3C implosions of the time. Those were a question of management decisions and personalities.

But my original comment was 100% unambiguous: "I liked HTML2. I hated basically everything which went into HTML3 and HTML4."

My impression is that dropping Scheme is something that some students have demanded for a long time, maybe even since the beginning. Back when I took 6.001 (in the 90s) there were certainly fellow Course 6ers who'd rather learn more "practical" languages like C/C++. But the fact is, Sussman could teach all the Scheme one needs for the semseter in one lecture (back then that was R4RS, minus continuations and macros), whereas C would be too low level and C++, well, we'd spend half the term just jumping through syntactic hoops.
Cool stuff! I just learned that the Kernel does not have floating point on by default (although as the article describes, can run in floating point mode). This means TCP/IP algorithms, like TCP Cubic congestion control, are on their own to figure out floating point:

I did read the article, and also the design doc which I linked in my top-level comment.

The facts are that they started with TypeScript and moved away (for a particular internal component). The interpretation of that as wanting to use it and failing is yours. You could just as well see it as having made a mistake and then realizing it. But all of these interpretations, by those of us who didn't have to make the choice and weren't there when it was made, aren't very helpful.

Because they have their own warchest of patents from acquiring about every decent processor startup over the past 15 years that would allow them to counter sue, and microarchitectual details are under incredibly strict NDAs to where it's an uphill battle to even prove that Apple is using any of those patented techniques to begin with.

Also, the PowerPC macs weren't their chips, those were IBM and Motorola for the most part (Apple did have some input into Altivec, but didn't do anything from the RTL down AFAIK).
