The Home key is fine if you're on a PC. On a Mac the only time you'll see one is on some extended external keyboards. It's rare, if nonexistent on Mac laptops.

So you need to press Cmd+Up. Yes, it's two keys instead of one but I would argue it's actually quicker since they are both usually located on the bottom row, meaning there is less distance for your hand to travel.
Maximum speed of 12.5 mph, that's not great. Why do they not simply let electric scooters be treated the same as bikes?
What is speeding up, exactly? Our ability to detect marginal cases, certainly. Not the death rate.

Why does Yale insist that antitrust can apply when prices are 0?

"Consumers" on Facebook are ad buyers, not users. Prices aren't 0 - Facebook's revenue was $70bn in 2019. That comes from businesses buy ads. Everything Facebook does to dominate the social media space is about selling more ads for more money. That's why they buy competitors, shut down rivals, and aggressively do what they can to drive prices for the ads on their platforms up.

Why not? It's a stereotype for pure mathematicians to like what they do because it's not applied, even though - like all stereoptypes - it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

The thing is, once something is applied, it has to deal with all the complexity and uglyness of the real world. But if you stick to abstract ideas, you are only limited by your imagination and logic. The mundane aspects of an applied field can detract from the pure beauty of an abstract subject.

I am not saying that this is always true, and sometimes it is nice to see applications of some abstract concepts. But many people intentionally shy away from applications towards a more theoretical field.
Weren't doctors beginning to question whether intubation had any effect on recovery?
I think its actually a result of people using only (or at least, most of the time) the mouse to browse the internet. If you just click from one link to another, pressing "home" is actually quite a far reach. There are people around that still think you have to drag the scrollbar. Sure, "home" is way faster, but a (well implemented) choice helps some and does not hurt.

Based on excess deaths - the difference between how many deaths from all causes would you exec and how many were reported - USA is very likely under counting deaths. Also all case mortality coincide very well with reports of COVID-19 cases.

USA is very likely to significantly under count deaths from COVID-19.

He is still giving you constructive feedback that you can use to improve your product. Even if it's just a hobby. I assume that is why you posted it here?

If I my add something as well. Use a local git program to commit and add files instead of using drag 'n drop from the website. Add commit massages with a short description of what you changed.

I would also remove all the logos in the program.

Keep at it :)

There are many people (at least that from the developers I know) who need to understand things fully before they 'can' use them. One of my friends is mentally stuck for 30 years on a platform because he cannot use what he does not fully understand. He tried Haskell (a few years ago) but instead of going through exercises or just trying to implement something, he read a book and noticed he did not understand basic (monads and such...) things and quit. He cannot touch a computer unless understanding arrives first. He is an extreme case but many (especially non-entrepreneurial in my experience) people I know have this in some ways.
Perhaps in some world where you never modify a type (e.g. concatenate/truncate strings, multiply numbers, etc). Type systems check types, they don’t help verify correctness of the logic performed on the types.

For an example, dig into some crypto libraries. They operate on bytes all over the place performing XORs, etc. A type system isn’t really gonna help you ensure you got the correct number of AES rounds and stitched the blocks in the right order.

IMO the only systems where this “type system eliminates most tests” philosophy seriously works are the ones that don’t do anything other than pass data between components without doing anything beyond calling some serialization methods.
Singapore has had a death rate of 0.06%, with ~42k cases. The main difference between them and the rest of the world has been how much they test. New York has more hospital beds per 1,000 than Singapore does for instance. There’s no other factor that could possibly explain the death rates being off by more than 3 orders of magnitude between those two places.

I had a go on an off road one fairly recently (maybe a year or two ago at most?) And it was pretty fun! A comment above says they aren't good for cities because they're too fast for the path and too slow for a cycle lane, but I think they're great for country lanes and open grass.

> I understand that bashing on facebook is a popular narrative here and they have made significant mistakes but it can hardly be argued the platform doesn't bring value to a significant share of people.

You don't think other sites can provide the same kind of value, while being far more respectful of your privacy and better reflecting the values of a country's culture? I sure as hell would prefer a German Facebook rather than the Facebook we have now that drowns out all other alternatives while allowing hate speech to spread unabated and trampling all over my right to privacy and to control my data. It's not even the fact that an alternative needs to be state-backed. It would be enough for a government to ban Facebook to allow local alternatives to grow a user base.

I think some startups are now trying to offer this as a self hosted service. That sidesteps the concerns around using a half baked, DIY solution as well as issues with privacy and data ownership.

If the AI is at a 3rd grader level, that means it's already reached human intelligence!

In my opinion, in some regards the AI performs well above a third grade level in some areas (being able to write a complex paragraph, terminal completion, writing code) and below in some other areas (not knowing basic multiplication, doesn't understand spatial context).
What is the effect of fear? Cortisol spikes and avoiding going to the doctor for what would normally be a good reason need to be researched.
> Git flow forces developers to use the develop branch rather than the master.

No it doesn’t.

> Another frustrating aspect is hotfix and release branches

I beg to differ.

I know what would be frustrating though:

> GitLab Flow is a way to make the relationship between the code and the issue tracker more transparent. Each change to the codebase starts with an issue in the issue tracking system.

The machine that trained GPT-3 is one of the largest GPU clusters in the world at the moment. (10k v100 GPUs hooked up with fast interconnect).

For comparison, Nvidia's "Selene" supercomputer only has 2k a100 GPUs and is #7 fastest supercomputer in the world: https://www.hpcwire.com/2020/06/22/nvidia-nabs-7-spot-on-top...
a100 GPUs are around 3x faster than v100 GPUs.

It would take some time for governments to catch up :)

Something worth keeping in mind is how many fewer people died of other causes compared to previous years [1]. Yes, the data will show an excess number of people died versus previous years but I believe the parent comment is saying we should pay close attention to what the cause of death really means in terms of age and comorbidity.

I've done two Segway tours at Disney World and it was awesome. The first one was at Epcot with my son. We got into the part before it opened and we were the only ones on the tour so we got to see and do some things that bigger groups don't. The second time was a bigger group with more family members at Wilderness Lodge using off-road Segways. This was probably even more fun as we got to see a lot of things that we would never have seen; horse barns, lakes, fields, flowers, bats, etc.

All in all, the Segway tours were a really great way to see a lot of things you don't normally see at Disney. I would totally recommend taking the tour if they still offered it.
Sure... and then consider that, unlike swine flu or seasonal flu, COVID-19 has already killed hundreds of thousands of people even with near-total lockdowns to the point of dystopic absurdity in many countries†, has done so over the course of only a few months, and due to lackluster government response in some countries is still increasing exponentially in some places.

† See China's brief use of 'only specific designated people per apartment building are allowed to leave the building for specific designated shopping trips, under the threat of military force' policies at the worst of the peak in its cities.
Collecting server logs doesn't work if you host your website behind Cloudflare or another CDN.

You can setup some sort of pixel that's never cached and that transmits the page via query params, but then the implementation isn't reliable and a PITA.

If you have your own server, something like Matomo.org works better.
Clever, but could just send them logs
There can be no definitive answer to your question but of course some "thumb rules" are applicable.

* The nature of your "system" defines how much attention you should pay towards futureproofing. If it is an end-user app/feature only do what is required and nothing more. You are solving one instance of a (maybe) small class of problems. The future will dictate what needs to be added/modified/refactored when you reach that point and not before i.e. no predictions unless you know the domain well.

* If you are building an "architecture" component like OS/Framework/Library etc. then you need to pay attention to generality and extensibility and design with futureproofing in mind. Use standard best practices like data/api versioning, narrow module interfaces, information hiding etc.

* Always focus first on Readability and Maintainability to the exclusion of everything else. Only when you hit a wall with respect to aspects like Performance etc. do you go back and redo/refactor the code for the newly prioritized requirement.
People want this thing to be over, so there's a desire to find reasons to believe that we are further along than we thought. Combined with this being a novel disease that no one fully understands, there's a lot of room for those theories to develop. The current best science answer to how many people remain susceptible to infection is "nobody really knows but our best guess is not to assume the best case without better evidence so act like the worst case".

But one thing that is easy to explain is your point about not knowing anyone who was infected:

- At the peak of this epidemic in hard-hit places like the UK, something like only 1 in 400 people are known to have been infected at a time.

- Many younger people (as much as 70%) show absolutely no symptoms when they are infected.

- The disease is astronomically worse for elderly people. One study said that for young person, getting COVID was as risky as going for a ~200 mile car drive but as a 90 year old it was as risky as flying a WWII bomber mission. Nearly everyone who is dying is 70+ and mostly 80+. Obviously some younger people do die, but the numbers are much, much lower. We are talking 10s of people total under 40 in most countries.

So unless you are hanging out with a social circle of 80-90 year olds, you actually aren't very likely know anyone directly affected! But that doesn't mean tons of people weren't dying. They just aren't the people you would know. It's a different social circle.
There wasn't a consensus back in February that covid19 was the black plague. Even though we didn't have the data to justify shutdowns, governments everywhere shutdown businesses because politicians won't personally feel the pain of job loss.

One of the most challenging things in growing a software product is managing complexity. If you are designing a product for future use cases, you add complexity upfront. To keep a healthy balance, I try to follow simple guidelines:

* Focus on the current assignment. Implement it using clean code principles, don't overthink the problem.

* Rather than spending time on design decisions, allocate time on handling edge-cases. These will save you from PageDuty alerts.

* Plan excessive for future use-cases only around data models that insert/read into the database. Data migration is super-painful. A more generic design around your database is almost always preferable.

* Have a feature toggling[1] service in your codebase. It will provide you with a better understanding of how you can implement new features alongside existing codebase in the same branch. Releasing features from long-running separate branches is almost always a wrong decision.

* Always keep in mind time-constraints and how urgent is the requested functionality. Don't let perfection be the enemy of productivity.

* Have a process in place that allows for the technical debt tasks to be tackled independently. It helps fix some bad design decisions, which become apparent in light of new requirements.

Unclaimed bodies have been buried in "mass graves" in NY for many years. It's just it didn't occur to anyone to film this from a drone before to drive clicks and outrage.

The real scandal is that NY, NJ, CT, MA and a few other states allowed C19 to spread in elderly care facilities and nursing homes. NY and NJ inexplicably _sent COVID patients_ there. As of Jun 2nd, nursing homes are responsible for 40% of all US COVID deaths: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/06/nursing-.... If heads don't roll for this, I don't know if we have justice in this country.
Personally I am not at all concerned when my data is used for marketing. Instead, I like learning about products tailor-made for me.

By privacy I understand not sharing data with the public or with the oppressive regimes when it may lead to harassment, firing or arrests of people.

But using my data to sell me some watches or bike parts? I'm in.
Consider that “here’s how to do explorative learning” is also prescriptive. I tend to think of exploration as just exploring everyone else’s prescriptions, testing them, and seeing what appeals to me and whatever my goals may be. In that sense, I don’t think prescriptions are bad. I still think explorative learning is that way to go, but you need to have something to explore.
Haha because surveillance capitalism isn’t making hundreds of billions with data!
Back to the top buttons are a symptom of the system-within-a-system feature of Web. The Web page isn't a document: it's a system, a virtual machine. Just like running another OS in VirtualBox implies bad interoperability and a lot of duplicated effort with the host OS, so too does running web pages. In a quest to be everything, Web became a bogged down, developer-time devouring beast. It can do almost anything, but you don't want to do anything on it.
But does this get us a lot?

In Brooklyn and Queens between 0.2 and 0.25 percent of the total population (!) died.

So this sort of puts a floor on the IFR and 0.2 is not that far off from the IFR determined through serological testing – maybe a half or a third of that.

So yeah, maybe there is an effect – but can it really be a drastic effect? I don’t think there are orders of magnitude of difference in there, maybe a difference of a few percent (e.g. an IFR of 0.45 instead of 0.5 percent)?

My working hypothesis has been an IFR of around 0.5% for a pretty long time, which seems pretty realistic to me.

That guitar hero thing is hilarious.

Git flow is something I spent a lot of time theory crafting about years ago. I’d say wasted time, but learning is never a waste and one of the things I learned is the value of deferring complexity whenever possible, especially if there’s no downside.

Using a trunk and tag (that’s what I call it) workflow today doesn’t prevent you from adopting something more complex if the need arises, so it makes a ton of sense for it to be the default on new projects, especially for new developers IMO.
I did exactly that with an Asus Netbook, then Canonical and AMD broke the whole experience with their actions replacing working binary drivers with WIP FOSS alternatives, because Free is Good ™.

That doesn't explain it, though: the number of NYC deaths so far is 0.2% of its population. Assuming 100% of NYC is infected, that's a floor of 0.2% IFR. No amount of under testing can explain that.

Which isn't to say that Singapore's death rate is an undercount, but that higher testing rates can't explain it.

My sister's friend is a nurse in Houston. Her hospital is one of the largest in Harris County and over the past month has gone from having one floor dedicated to Covid-19 patients to FOUR entire floors solely for Covid patients.

Shit is real, and will only get worse because complete fucking morons that can't see beyond their own little bubble think that just because things aren't completely screwed in their world, they aren't screwed elsewhere.

I wonder in an era where clean energy costs fall more than 10x whether it is possible to channel surplus energy into desalination and pumping water into deserts near the coasts. Like a slow geo engineering project. Combined with future developments in vertical farming, it may make sustainable cities possible in places like Middle east, parts of South Asia and Africa

This is interesting, I've often found the buttons to be useful at times on mobile, so was wondering where all the hate came from, and turns out it was because iOS already has the feature built-in (I use Android, which doesn't really have an equivalent afaik).

Though to play devil's advocate, I'm willing to bet 80%+ of iOS users have no idea the feature even exists, so removing it just because it's available as a system feature doesn't sound like a particularly compelling argument to me.

I think having some kind of sticky navigation instead of scroll to top makes for a much more compelling UX though, since it accomplishes the same goal without the downsides of hitting it by accident causing an irreversible loss of context.
Ha! That kinda flies in the face of facts. The UK and the US did NOT "over-quarantine" and this is precisely the problem.

Nations, even some bad-old-authoritarian ones, that didn't dilly-dally and turn the question of lockdown into a political issue, but took it as a public health issue, those are the nations that are re-opening now with low enough numbers to claim to be over the first wave.

The Tory's and GOP's treatment of a pandemia as a political football, instead of a public health menace, led to spotty lockdown actualities that precisely resulted in MORE spreading of the virus. I.E. The Wisconsin Supreme Courts decision and the immediate opening of the bars and no masks, no social distancing, etc.
These are FAILED policies and the ideology behind them is incorrect.

What you are spouting might have been debatable several months ago, but I'm going to have to rub your nose in the reality that your entire set of talking points are demonstrably rubbish.

> IMO the only systems where this “type system eliminates most tests” philosophy seriously works are the ones that don’t do anything other than pass data between components without doing anything beyond calling some serialization methods.

Which is what 90% of programmers on this website are essentially doing. And for the remaining 10% there is likely a better suited, different programming language or type system available. Even if there isn't unit tests would still be very niche and the general case would be that by default you shouldn't be unit testing.
Are they efficient ?
