I'm pretty sure it is, and the CDC seems to agree with me:

"Some people may take even longer to develop antibodies, and some people who are infected may not ever develop antibodies."

This is a well known phenomenon in other diseases as well, why should COVID-19 be the exception here?

No, that is not a valid line of reasoning. There is a high likelihood that you did, but not a 1:1 correspondence.

It's amazing how bad Slack got. Android app looks slick and the UX is awesome, but functional bugs make up for it: last week I had all _my_ messages disappear from a conversation, I could only see what the other person wrote. I routinely have to force-close and reopen the app to have it show new messages. And for couple of months now, smileys typed in the app (e.g. `:)`) don't convert to actual emojis when sent. Support responded recently along the lines that "it should be fixed now because nobody complains anymore". Well it isn't, apparently sending a smiley to try and reproduce the issue is too much of an effort.
If your sleep is absolutely perfect and you never have any issues with energy or anything like that, there probably isn't a point for you.

My sleep isn't perfect. I don't have insomnia but I'm terrible at keeping a sleep schedule on my own, I can have trouble falling asleep or I can be woken early for various reasons. The data helps me quantify these problems and act on them.

For example I can see that I was bad at adhering to my sleep schedule and try harder. If I didn't have this data I wouldn't know that there was a problem or how bad it was. If I had trouble falling asleep or woke early, I can check the app and see how much sleep I actually got and have an idea of what my energy levels through the coming day are going to be like.

yeah, because nothing beats working whole day in fields to grow food, and then still dying of hunger because it was too rainy, or there was no enough rain or hailstorm destroyed everything. Also using any spare moment to weave and repair old clothing because you couldn't afford to buy any new clothing, as everything was hand made and super expensive; traveling on horses or foot that takes days; occasional plague or small pox epidemic and all the other great things about ol' way of life...
The steady state for this kind of thing is a very long credentialing process that mostly serves to constrict [word choice is deliberate] entry into the field(s).

In the absence of immigration, assuming the void you describe were perceived, I would expect the UK to accelerate the qualification process for doctors, engineers, nurses, AHPs, engineers, architects, etc., without much affecting the quality of the doctoring / nursing / engineering that got done.

This is, for example, how people were trained to understand spoken Japanese when that became important in World War II. The first attempt involved approaching universities with Japanese programs, who all solemnly declared that learning to understand Japanese was a deliberate process involving multiple years of study. The second attempt involved a course developed for the purpose, not by the universities, that turned out functioning translators in six months.

Increasingly radio is how we are communicating, but it may not be obvious as the technology is hidden deep down.

As in all times, there will be curious individuals that wish to know how it all connects or wish to bend technology to their will.

Internet, as technology, is in no way in opposition to this fact. I would say that they are orthogonal.

In python, using single letter functions is not encouraged though. In general, I found that there is a tipping point above which more advanced the abstractions actually decrease the readability of the code because the ratio of implied to explicit code gets unbalanced. The verbosity of C/Golang/Java is actually a benefit here, since they remain readable even to new team members, hungover team members, new parents on 2 hours of sleep and generally anyone without a good model of all the implicit meaning behind the abstration in their head at this moment. This may or may not include "future me" scenarios where you come back to some overly clever code in 5 years and have to relearn 3 separate DSLs that were hip at the time.

The IDE experience for Haskell also... leaves something to be desired atm. Hie and GHCIDE are cool projects but I regularly see even experienced Haskellers struggle installing them (and/or keeping them working after updates).
I've been begging for exactly this for quite some time. Because of the way I use databases, I've always been bewildered why this wasn't a core part of SQL from the very beginning.

From what I'm reading there's still a lot to be fleshed out to be maximally useful to me, but even in its current state I could imagine using this.

— I'd like to have a field property that limits stored values to a single version and thus is automatically cleared whenever the row is updated. This would be useful for inlining change annotations, and for associating a user_id to specific changes.

— I'd like to be able to arbitrarily select the n-1 value of fields regardless of their time period. E.g.

select username, previous(username)
from users

— When viewing a specific version, I'd like to know whether a field's value was supplied in that revision. That's distinct from if the field was changed. I want to know if the value was supplied—even if it was identical to the previous value.

— This might be possible already (it's hard to tell) but I'd like to be able to query/join on any revision. For example I might want to ask the question "show me all products that james has ever modified". That could then get more specific, e.g. "show me all products where james changed the price".

I’m not sure why everyone cares so much about compile times compared to the only thing that matters - runtime performance.

For the lifetime of a binary, compilation time is like 0.000001% of its existence.

You, as so many other, are ignorant about Sweden.
We have had rules about social distancing, visit band in elderly homes, social distancing and washing hands. And if possible, work from home.
Schools from age 16 are distance nu teaching, so are universitets.

All gatherings över 50 persons are forbiden and we are to told to not travel IF not needed.

We still uphold laws, so the government bor riksdag can force lockdown om People. But can close Stores and restaurants that doesn't follow rules.

And about Corona deaths, we are probably have more correct reports of deaths than many countries, like UK. Which probably are under reporting.

That based on all deaths reporter. The exccess deaths compared to previous five years are about the same as the reporter Covid-19 deaths.
And the över deaths in Sweden are in pair with Denmark, higher then Norway but lower that Finland and Scotland (yes, part of UK).

And Finland has Hard lockdown, so Scotland and Denmark.

Even IF you compare Copenhagen area with Skåne area (South part of Sweden) with about same population, the death rate reporter of Covid-19 is higher in Copenhagen. There are areas in Sweden that have lower death rates then Finland, on pair with Finland.

So No, you are basically ignorant of the death rates of Sweden.

And yes, death rates of Covid-19 in Sweden are still lower than some bad influenza years, like in 2000. Even through the population in Sweden was smaller then, total number of deaths in flue was Word. And letting children go to school was a good Choice, as Corona isn't pushed by children, many are better going to school then forced to be at home. And they are not loosing important time in school with their friends and some normalities.

And the all deaths are now down to under normal years. Most thanks to the changed in behaviour has almost erased the flue in Sweden.

Comparing total deaths data, without different rules to define IF deaths are Covid-19 or not, shows that the lockdown in UK, Denmark and Finland did not do much difference. Not compared to Sweden, with moderate and mostly informed population about how to defeat the spread of the Corona virus.

But, that isn't interesting to wrote about, I guess. As it could show that the lockdown is the only solution, that it also cost life and sufferings.

I'm from an Irish / Scottish background.

Maybe I should start crying and wailing, next time someone in the office says, at lunchtime, that they're "starving" - --because it reminds me of the Irish Famine. It might even be cultural appropriation to claim to be "starving" if you're not from a part of the world which has suffered famine.

The thing is that 'return' is not very common either, because Rust has shorthand for returning at the end of a function :-P

I think the standard library ought to use slightly longer names since it's far less strictly bounded than the set of language keywords, so I'm fine with 'Option'. 'Vec' is a bit awkward from that POV, but then again 'Vector' would be a lot worse. 'Box' is also awkward in the same way but thinking about it, it's not easy to convey the notion "this value is behind a pointer" so you might as well use a conventional name and get it over with.

> He didn't go into why vector instructions are hard to use efficiently, and hard for compiler writers, but I'd be interested if anyone here could explain that.

I have a simplistic explanation - maybe not what you're looking for but it is the best I can do...

At 12m23s in the video he says, "If you're working in a layer and the layers are well constructed (abstracted) you really can make a lot of progress. But if the top layer says, 'to make this really fast, go change the bottom layer', then its going to get all tangled up."

That's what implementing an algorithm on a SIMD architecture feels like to me. I have to figure out a way of filling my SIMD width with data each clock cycle, while in contrast, the specification of the algorithm deals with data one piece at a time.

Take insertion sort as a (bad) example.

i ? 1
while i < length(A)
j ? i
while j > 0 and A[j-1] > A[j]
swap A[j] and A[j-1]
j ? j - 1
end while
i ? i + 1
end while

That algorithm cannot easily take advantage of SIMD. You have to change the algorithm to make it work with the architecture.

We'd probably say the algorithm is the top level of the abstraction stack, and the SIMD architecture is a level near the bottom. So this problem is the opposite way around to how Jim phrased it, but the point is that we have NOT got clean abstraction - an implementation in one layer depends on the implementation in another.
Well, isn't this interesting. On this same thread I'm being downvoted for correcting another comment's outdated quote of the CDC's estimated IFR. I posted the latest (higher) figure from the CDC, which increased the estimated number of people who will die, and some folks didn't like that.

And over here modmans is accusing me of thinking Covid19 is over blown, while you accuse me of cognitive dissonance. It seems to me that you simply dislike any suggestion that Covid19 is less serious than you think, while other people dislike any suggestion that Covid19 is more serious than they think.

Here's what I think: I think honest, factual discussion of this topic is important, and that includes considering all facets of the evidence. I think describing a rare complication as a "potential wave" is overblown. And I think the level of discussion of this topic, even here on HN, is among the worst I've ever seen.

Not data per she but an official point of critique by the EU

>

The business environment is improving, but strengthening Italy’s public administration, justice system and anti-corruption framework remains a challenge. The digitisation of public services is progressing. Further efforts are needed to improve public employment, especially at management level. Weak administrative capacity is diminishing the public administration’s ability to invest and carry out policy or enforcement tasks that affect businesses such as market surveillance. In this regard, a comprehensive strategy to strengthen it is missing. Inefficiencies in public procurement also remain often unaddressed. Despite recent improvements, the length of civil trials remains among the highest in the EU. Recent reforms are starting to bear fruit and an enabling law to streamline the civil procedure is under discussion. However, to reduce trial length, there is still ample room to ensure more efficient management of cases and limit unfounded appeals. The anti-corruption framework was strengthened recently, also through the anti-corruption law of January 2019. However, it needs to be completed. Indeed, no regulation sanctions conflict of interest for elected public officials, embezzlement in the private sector remains only partly criminalised, and provisions against lobbying do not apply to members of government and parliament. Moreover, the low efficiency of criminal justice in appeals continues preventing prosecuting corruption effectively. A reform of the criminal procedure and appeal system is still pending.

That interview sounds more like an argument not to register your non-profit in another country. The main argument given is "because LibreOffice is German, and many of the people who would be involved in setting it up are German".
It doesn't look like that because all the examples you see are working code. Try actually writing some and you will find it is quite difficult.

I would say it has a less steep learning curve than Haskell. But definitely steeper than most languages - C, C++, Go, Python, JavaScript, etc.
Also, don’t forget about the corruption. And the environmental protests. And the corruption.

The article contained almost more references about corruption and environmental protests than technical info. I don’t know how other places work, but in Europe, big infrastructure projects are almost always mired with corruption.

The article read like: “wow, these dumb and greasy Italians finally managed to do something impressive. But they are still corrupt. And their project is not eco friendly. Hah, those Italians...” And I’m not even Italian, but I can smell that snobbism from a mile.

Ah, also there was corruption. In Venice.

Even HN has this problem where the users themselves stoke outrage in certain topics. For example, 99% of threads are see are great with in-depth discussion and nuanced opinions, even on topics that get flamed on other social media: climate change, gender issues, divisive art and personalities. However, lately I've noticed a huge disconnect between these threads and anything that mentions China/TikTok or solar/wind energy. For some reason, these two specifically seem to push people into baring their teeth.
Yes, the "paperclip maximizer" already applies: corporations. I can't remember the post, but someone wrote that corporations are effectively an AI which maximizes profit. In many ways, we have already invented AI; its objective function is to maximize profits, often to the detriment of, well, everything.
Wow yet another validation library, this one is special because it doesnt care about typescript.

Seriously a big part of the problem is to infer type information as you write validators. Anyone can just invent a dsl for type schema. Npm already has heap of these. If we want the schema approach we' probably go with something json-schema based.

Have a look at io-ts and runtypes to see what what a modern js validator should look like (again has something to do with typescript)
