I have a theory. My wife and I had COVID recently and we both tested positive. My child also had a fever for about a day but otherwise was symptom free. Given that we were quarantined and not exposed to anyone else for about a week before my child's fever, it's hard to imagine that it was anything except for COVID.

However, most testing sites that you can just sign up for on your own only test 18+, so getting her tested would be a PITA. Most likely we'd have to take them to the doctor and maybe they would order a test, but more likely, they'd just say go home and get some rest, call us if it gets worse. And even if I got my child tested, what would I gain from it? At best it would tell me what I already know.

Given that most cases in children are mild (I wouldn't have suspected COVID nor bothered to have taken my child's temp if I hadn't tested positive myself), I imagine it's only the children who doctors suspect have it that are getting tested in Florida, for the most part. And among that group, the positive rate is gonna be high.
It's neither a smear nor an accurate description. It's fear mongering.
I'm not familiar with your examples, but NewPipe allows you to group your subscriptions and then show the latest videos from each group, sorted by upload date/time (or something similar).

What it misses from a usual RSS reader is the notifications (idk maybe they exist and you only have to turn them on) and the "read"/"viewed" marker.

Why would a recipe that features off-topic content rank higher than one that is just the recipe?

I've thought that the reason recipes are hell on the internet is to need to make space for display ads, e.g. putting the content in slideshows where some slides are ads.
I'm sure for some people that is the trend. For others, email is still doing just fine. Personally, I don't much like the kind of proprietary message board applications that trade off locking up your communications in someone else's system for using a prettier UI. Almost any individual online communication that I care about, whether personally or for business reasons, is done either via email or via some sort of self-hosted system that isn't trying to replace email. And speaking only for myself, I have had many email conversations catching up with old friends online while we can't meet in person because of the virus situation. YMMV, and presumably so will a few billion other people's. :-)

According to the article by Spiegel, the psychiatrist concluded that the condition is chronic and consolidated, therefore, no second opinion is required.

I've no doubt that there are people taking programming opinions way to far and it sucks that PHP devs have to deal with that.

OTOH, there are now mainstream languages with null in the type system, union types, pattern matching, etc... it looks (from the outside) like PHP caught up to where the industry was 10 years ago. If I'm uninformed I'd love to see a comparison to Typescript, Kotlin, Swift, or Scala3.
This is the most obvious answer.
The top open-source ecommerce platforms (magento, woocommerce, etc) and content management systems (wordpress) are all in PHP, and yes they were written before 2000. You don't need to know PHP to be a successful web dev if you are working at a silicon valley tech / social media company, but e-com and content management are still what most companies are trying to do on the internet, and if you are interested in a tech career outside of silicon valley, being handy with PHP is great.

This. I never understood people who go apeshit during exit interviews or are even honest during it. There is simply zero benefit to genuinely cooperating on an exit interview.

If the company is trash and you lay it all out during the exit interview you're simply burning bridge (particularly if they do in fact act on your feedback and somebody gets smacked about it) and if you're ever in a situation where you get let go suddenly or whatever, the person who you blasted may veto your return.

You owe the company less than nothing. Play your cards close to the chest, say the reason for leaving is personal and not at all related to the company and move on with your life. Why would you want to help the company that just fired you?
X11 is too centralized. Adding more extensions exacerbates the problem—most of those extensions should have been in libraries in the first place, and with Wayland, they can finally be taken out of the server and into individual apps. That, and X11 has too many built-in assumptions which haven’t been reasonable for most users for 20 years (but it sure is nice to run X over SSH on a low-bandwidth link!)

The usability improvements on the Linux desktop happened in spite of X11. The conversation is about font rendering—and why should font rendering be a part of your windowing system? For most apps, it’s not—it’s in Pango, and Pango dropped support for X fonts. All of these changes which already happened have been eroding whatever advantages X11 offered in the first place.

So it’s time to decentralize all the random functionality in X11, and just move it into client-side libraries.
You can almost 1:1 translate this by swapping "tf" and "torch". No need to use nn.Conv2d -- there's a functional API for all these layers:

Torch doesn't have "same" padding, so you have to manually calculate the correct padding value for your input/output shapes.

I think it is the other way around. The stories you are implying are paid are from press releases, though they aren't paid to run them. "Enterprise" are stories that don't come from PR, they are stories where enterprising journalists have researched and developed a story.

That is why he says:

> Before you embark on a piece of enterprise, ask yourself whether it’s really going to be worth the investment, And if an idea doesn’t turn out as envisaged, be prepared to spike it and move on. A week or two spend on source-building, without any story published, is often a much more valuable use of our reporters’ time.

My 70 year old FIL regularly works 60-70+ hour weeks as a doctor. Nothing to do with Covid, just because that's how the hospital shifts are set up. They regularly put him on 15+ hour shifts. They started thinking he had dementia and it was just chronic sleep deprivation.

> they push the pandemic dialogue every election season. This election year it's the coronavirus, last election (2016) was the Zika virus, the 2012 election was the Ebola virus.

Neither Zika not Ebola outbreaks were, nor were pushed by the media as, pandemics (also, the 2012 Ebola outbreaks, depsite being in a Presidential election year, received minor news coverage consistent with their magnitude; the major media coverage of a recent set of Ebola outbreaks was of the 2014 set, which were not in a Presidential election year.)

The media is reporting a pandemic in 2020 because one exists, just as they did with the flu pandemic in 2009, which you will note was not an (US federal, even midterm) election year.

>I know it's slightly off topic, but just be happy if you don't feel your heart beating...

When I was a kid I used to complain of episodic pains I would get in my heart, and as a child I described it as feeling like lightning shocking my heart. After some testing I was pretty quickly diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia.

I feel pretty grateful as I never had to have a heart monitor, take meds, and as far as I can recall the last episode was sometime in high school (maybe 20 years ago), I hadn't really thought about it in a long time, but you made me realize now how bizarre it was to "feel my heart".

Herd immunity isn't a binary threshold after which zero cases occur. Even in a first-order homogeneous and well-mixed SIR model, you may asymptotically approach 1 - 1/R0 of the population infected without ever getting there. If you do cross that threshold ("overshoot"), then the case count starts to drop, but new people still get infected and die on the downslope. The only case where a disease will naturally burn itself out abruptly is if there was massive overshoot, which would be bad, because it means yet more people died than necessary for natural herd immunity.

And for real some people have many more contacts than others (nurses, police, etc.). They get infected first, with disproportionate harm, but then become immune first with disproportionate benefit. That heterogeneity means 1 - 1/R0 is potentially a significant overestimate of the share of the population that needs to get infected for herd immunity, but there have been very limited efforts to quantify that so far.

It seems like some people believe natural herd immunity (from recovered patients) could work like vaccination does, to effectively eradicate the disease? That's probably false--the most likely natural endgame would be that the coronavirus becomes endemic, always present with some low incidence, with continuing mortality that's very low (because the incidence is low, and because older people probably benefit from immunity from when they were younger and the IFR for young people is <1/100 of older people's) but nonzero.

Finally, herd immunity and interventions (social distancing, masks, etc.) work together. It's possible (and likely I believe) that in hard-hit areas that now show R ~ 1, this is due to the product of both factors, and that either relaxing to their previous lifestyle or applying the same interventions in a naive (100% susceptible) population would show R > 1.

And billions of dollars looted from the PPP and US treasury while the media conflated protesters with the bad actors running amok. If you weren't in the protests, read accounts of those who were like the recent overview in the New Yorker. When a movement that starts with taking a knee is vilified, attacked, and denied legitimacy what other options are there to make their voices heard?

Meanwhile, taxpayers have been robbed blind by the damage to our infrastructure by looters yes but also corruption, greed, and abuse of power not seen at this scale in the entire history of our democracy. Even the Secretary of Transportation and Husband, Mitch McConnell, made off with millions in loans paid for by your tax dollars. The current USPS head, who may be slowing delivery to damage the agency, may be taking direction from a guy whose old company received $700 million in bailout even though it is only worth 1/10 of that.

You and I might have seen $1200. Millionaires got $135 Billion in tax loopholes. That's more than hospitals were allocated to deal with the virus.

So do go ahead and complain about looters at protesters. It's important their bad behavior be recognized and flushed out. But don't lose sight of the larger issue, billions of taxpayer dollars going to the rich, donors to the current administration, and even directly to members of the administration and GOP party leadership. The corruption is obscene.

Is PHP still hated on a lot these days?

Isn't it just not that popular an option anymore to start new projects with? Most people are aware of the language having changed a lot since its heydays.

And honestly, from the article I'm not quite sure why I should consider using PHP. Sure, it has a lot of modern bells and whistles now that it didn't when I last used it 2005-ish, but what makes it stand out? I know a number of people that are super happy and productive with modern PHP, but those are all people that have been using it continuously since forever so it makes a lot of sense for them. But why switch to it from another stack?

E.g. the supposed best database integration of any language with "PHP Database Objects". At least the examples given are the absolute bare minimum I'd expect to get from such an integration. What makes it the best?
A Theory of Affordances in Reinforcement Learning
This unfortunately is not the most studied field. The level of expertise to make meaningful contributions requires being a skilled computer scientist and historian.

The best surveys available are by Paul Ceruzzi[0], as far as I know. Even this is lacking a bit because it focuses unduly on more recent business developments like Microsoft's monopoly and the emergence of Linux. These topics don't have much to do with the long development of computers themselves I would say. One also begins in 1940, after a fair amount of interesting history has already passed.

If you're looking for a more experimental approach, I would say you can focus on just studying a few machines in-depth and glean quite a bit of the main thread. For examples:

1. Babbage's analytical machine and Lovelace's contributions. The birth of computing was really a meeting of two minds. Babbage's machine was such an oddity I think he had trouble imagining all of the possibilities himself. Lovelace really does deserve quite a bit of credit for her collaboration, and she really transformed Babbage's crank wheel calculator into the sort of algorithmic processor we know today.

2. The IBM 360. It's ubiquity in the mainframe means there are still plenty running in the wild, which is not something you can say about most computers from that era. IBM's foothold in the expensive hardware business meant that they effectively controlled the software business as well. It's hard to exaggerate how closed computing was during this era.

3. The PDP-7 through the PDP-11. If the 360 was when computing became mainstream and closed, the PDP-11 was when it proliferated. The PDP-11 was when trends in time sharing, price, and computer science converged. The C language and Unix-like systems we know and love today, including all of their derivatives, could not have been born earlier without this specific machine.

My suggestion would be to read a general survey, and if you are still interested and curious, find some of the original documentation and handbooks for the computers of the era you are most interested in. A surprising amount of emulators exist for any pivotal computer of the past like those 3 that I mentioned.[1] Programming them is an exercise in humility and appreciation for how far computers have come.

Finally, I would suggest going to visit one of the old machines in person. The Computer History Museum[2] has many still working exhibitions, but if traveling to Mountain View is too far, there are still many working examples scattered around the world in universities and private collections. The tangles of wires, dim hums, and clicking terminals are precious experiences.

The history of just memory is equally fascinating[3], but I think I've said enough here.

Good luck and have fun!

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is also awesome. I wish we could have 8, but that's not quite in the pipeline yet. The distro is crazy stable. With the Extras, Optionals, EPEL, etc. repositories enabled you get access to almost all of the best software in the Linux ecosystem.

> the reports of ICUs nearing or hitting capacity due to covid cases

This is the key takeaway here. You're taking the "reports" fed to you at face-value when you don't have all the relevant information. If 10% of beds in a given hospital are listed as "available for use", and all 10% are accounted for, a hospital can claim they are at 100% capacity.

This statistic-manipulation is not only being done with hospital capacity numbers, but also with covid test numbers, and covid death numbers. Statistics have been messed with like this throughout history. Wake up people.
