> confirmed cases for people in their 40's: 13687. Of those, 282 ended up in the ICU

I can't understand the language (Swedish, presumably), but the ICU percentage is not the hospitalisation rate. Rather more people than need ICU are being hospitalised.

If 2% are needing ICU treatment, 4.6% needing oxygen in hospital sounds plausible if not an underestimate.

> And since the number of actual cases is probably at least a magnitude higher than the confirmed cases

That (probably) isn't true, or at least is not confirmed. I would expect most symptomatic cases to be tested now, and estimates of asymptomatic cases vary but seem to hover around 40%.

> So if you don't belong to any of these risk groups

Being male is also a risk group. If you're a man, most stats look worse compared to women at a ratio of about 2-1.
And thus there is a sell-by date on capitalism.

Is this a sign that the web is now irrelevant, wholly replaced by easily-store-censored (thanks, Apple and Google) apps?
Should we start rounding up Muslims too?

Our country is founded on a free market economy and competition. If a Chinese company outcompetes US companies... well that means our system is working.
Why should it matter whether China does it, in the decision of whether any other countries should do it? I thought we are supposed to support liberal values even when times get tough.
This transition has been ongoing for quite some time now.
Other commenters have given plenty of reasons. I never understand the obsession Europeans have with getting other parts of the world to be identical to them. Worst part is when we do adopt your practices you start whining about how we copied you.
Which is reasonable with sqalchemy because it operates at a lower level, where you manually handle sessions anyway. You don't do that in Django, by design. You can change commit behaviour if you want, though, and then you can just use transaction.atomic and still don't handle the session manually.

If you'd want atomic transactions for the whole Django project, you could just set the ATOMIC_REQUESTS flag in the settings.
it's already split for the average users (>90% of total users)

Some countries (like France for instance) impose DNS censorship on ISP to block some domains.

Have you even read the second paragraph before responding?
Since there are lots of alternative shells being mentioned, I thought I'd give my tuppence. I want two things from a shell:

- Easy process execution, including branching on exit codes, overriding env vars, providing a working directory, etc. This must support concurrent processes (e.g. pipelines).

- Easy file and stdio management (i.e. piping). This must support streaming (passing along chunks of data as they arrive, rather than gathering them into big intermediate values).

Scripting language REPLs provide everything else I care about (string handling, looping, variables, etc.). Their built-in support for these two things is usually really bad, but libraries can plug that gap. I've tried a few for Python, Haskell, Scala, etc. but the best experience I had was Racket's shell-pipeline library ( https://docs.racket-lang.org/shell-pipeline it's also used by the Rash shell that I've not used https://docs.racket-lang.org/rash ). This makes really good use of Racket features, e.g.

- Quasiquoting for mixing commands with normal functions in a simple, sane way

- S-expression syntax works well for shell-like code, e.g. no comma-separation, distinguishing between (unquoted) symbols for names, flags, etc. and quoted strings for data, allowing special characters in names (e.g. to allow things like > in our pipeline), etc. Of course, Racket can be written with I-expressions, sweet-expressions, etc. too, but I've never bothered.

- Stdio redirection works with Racket's existing "ports" mechanism

- Env vars can be managed using Racket "parameters" (dynamically-scoped variables)

(Note that the API seems to have changed a bit since the version I used, so I'm not sure how the new stuff like laziness fits in)
I don't find it shocking at all, when you consider just how much farther advanced Apple is in so many different ways including disability accessibility (please let me know if you have ever seen a blind person that uses anything but an iPhone), inter-device sharing/airdrop, configuration sync across devices, etc.
The biggest keyboard ability that macOS gives me is built-in combining characters. alt + a bunch of different characters gives you the ability to write seamlessly in multiple languages (in my case English, French, German and Swedish) without having to memorise altgr character codes or pop up an input panel.
I’m not saying that. Just asking if they remember an instance of it and comparing to a non-instance today.

I think I worded it poorly.
In the far past perhaps but EU(led by Germany and France to a good extent) and Russia won't be allies any time soon or you've been missing a ton of Russian efforts in it's neighbourhoods.

Russia's very much opposed to a more united EU and matters such as a joint energy union.
Stuff like Nord Stream is mostly a consequence of it's successful subversion (see Gerhard Schröder) and playing of members interest against eachother (see Bulgaria's pipeline being blocked) which allows it to keep higher pricing and even use it's pricing as a political tool.

Russia will do it's own thing i believe as it has been doing. Allying and inserting itself where possible in the likes of Syria, etc striking deals with Egypt, china, etc wherever it suits it because despite being largely a terrible oligarchy it has managed to steer itself well in the governments self interest under Putin.
The manufacturer of the device relies on their chipset manufacturer to update their drivers.

Also the manufacturer has to them push out that as an update.

ISPs often have custom firmwares on the routers so they need to do an update.

Also every device needs to be able to talk to every device.

Interoperability means that you get breaking changes being only acceptable when you go:
N to AC to Wifi6

WPA3 came out but how many routers will support it?
How many clients?
You don't need divisions in the military. You need divisions in society, of which in the US there are plenty.
Nope. You don’t get to use false equivalence to conflate CCP with all Chinese people. You can’t equate adversity towards the Communist Party as an attack on all Chinese people. It’s sad that their government has such authoritarian control that it works that way, but it’s the Chinese people’s problem to solve if their government causes unacceptable consequences for them.

> Did you forget what TFA is about? It's about the president blanket banning two apps with no warning and no real justification.

The TFA is an agreement for movement of goods between member Nations. What has this got to do with apps? Apps are not goods. They are services. You haven't even read the first paragraph of the agreement. I am guessing you are talking about Trade Facilitation Agreement here. If this is some other TFA that I am unaware of you can clarify. But if it is the Trade Facilitation Agreement it doesn't have any bearings with respect to software/services.

> That's the point. Facebook and Google decided not to follow thebrelevant censorship laws and are banned, Microsoft did and also turned over source code for security reasons (like the Huawei did in the UK). They aren't banned. Am I talking to a Markov chain? It honestly just seems like you copy pasted some response you had saved up without consideration for context.

Microsoft did and it still is in trouble. What is your point now? That Microsoft will be able to operate indefinitely in China? I just told you that Microsoft, HP and Dell are in big trouble as CCP wants them out through the 3-5-2 formula. You are being the Markov chain here because honestly you are unable to grasp this basic response that I gave in my earlier comment. Or you are deliberately trying to troll which is equally pathetic.
Window management is one area where this is definitely not true. Window snapping is something people have to install Spectacle/Rectangle for and even then shortcuts to move windows to workspaces are sorely missing for me.
I stopped using blades ~3 years ago (used to buy Gillette). Bought a Philips 7000 ( https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/philips-series-7000-s75... ) which I use with water & shaving cream (just a little bit, not as much as when using blades) and I have since then 0 irritations and always a perfect shave without any cuts. I replace the set of rotating blades once every ~1.5-2 years (which means that I replaced them once, hehe). I tried previously 2 other brands/models of electric razor but I didn't like the feeling (I don't liketo shave "dry") nor the results, but this one of Philips is in my opinion totally different.
I still wonder about another radical idea: launching payloads (not people obviously) via a long ramp with some kind of magnetic accelerator and flinging them into orbit. I forget what this idea was called.
Very naive question. Suppose I offer a service (e.g. Have I Been Pwned) and I want my users to trust my service not to store/share their data. I understand that open sourcing the code base is one step, but how can I know that the server running the service actually does run this codebase and not something else?
Is that because leadership rewards such behavior? I wonder if pressure would be the same If working 12hr days is discouraged and emphasis placed on collaboration and team delivery.

Leadership sets the tone and culture so it's always leadership's fault if culture is toxic.

That wasn’t even driven by zsh’s actual benefits, but by the fact that bash changed to GPL3. If it had continued on GPL2 we’d 100% still have bash as a default.
How to Set Realistic Growth Goals
From a non-developed world viewpoint, is it even possible for China/India etc to have there companies grow to such a massive size to rival Facebook, Micrisoft etc without protecting them from multi-nationals with way more immense power and the capacity to simply buy companies?

Ala, Facebook bought Instagram. If there was no such restriction, could they not have just bought Tencent in its infancy?

Essentially ensuring that currently countries that have not developed will continually never develop.
It would look nothing like the original American Civil War; this would be a 4th generational war. The most conventional it would look like would be the war against the Iraqi insurgency. Defections and sabotage within the US military combined with attacks on infrastructure would reduce its ability to function normally.

In such a scenario, Humpty Dumpty is not being put back together again. The US would most likely break apart, assuming some foreign power doesn't manage to conquer all of its former territory.
Most country have this sort of control, there will be censorship at some level.

Also, China did not ban US companies, but requires all foreign companies abide Chinese laws when operate in China. Apple have setup their data centre in China, iCloud is not banned. Similar story to Bing search, AWS, Azure etc..
"Mass driver".
It is pre-emptive since the danger of Chinese apps is still hypothetical (and cyber attacks are way more relevant to national security than consumer apps anyway).
Part of me thinks this is good. Not for others, but for me at least. After all, if you can censor 98% of users by focussin on apps, why would you bother implementing technology to censor the lower levels of the internet? Who knows, we might even reach a point where new censorship mechanisms won't even bother with "low-level" traffic like HTTP(S) anymore.
It's a compelling theory, but I'd love to see some harder evidence.

Innovative genius is older than free societies.
Whilst relations are better it had itself set up as a 3rd faction and even being closer to the soviets during the cold war due to US alliance with Pakistan. Now Pakistan has largely shifted into China's sphere of influence and the US has slowly turned it's attention towards China that might change but i don't expect it to be in a way as subservient as other commonwealth nations like Australia.
The internet would be split if the simplest requests -- TCP, HTTP, and email -- cannot cross borders without inspection/censorship. If people everywhere cannot communicate, we would move toward the stark borders of the Cold War, where simple acts of cross-border communication were notable.

One can readily argue that China has already split the internet, to an extent. In the best case, one can imagine that the US is stumbling-toward/leading-the-way into a world where free expression and freedom from monitoring is requisite for unfettered access to the predominant global communications network. I hope that is the ultimate destination.

The Trump administration is unlikely to be able to finish that work, but a line in the sand to state that outright monitoring of global citizens is unacceptable seems like a good place to start. To make this work, the United States must also refrain from deeply monitoring the speech and actions of citizens of other countries. It is reasonable to expect the EU to require local hosting of a lot more US cloud services in the coming year.

If the world is to balkanize, it may also mean that cross-border interactions are dominated by open-source software and open protocols. A silver lining in a dark cloud.
There are only a handful of countries that restrict internet access: China, Lydia, Egypt, Myanmar, Russia, maybe a few others. All authoritarian regimes to some extent.

> China did not ban US companies

Blocking domains via a countrywide firewall is as close as you get to “banning”. If it was about following laws you’d enforce that through legal means like everyone else, and not brute force.
Ohhhh I first thought this was a search engine for hacker news and I was wondering why the hell anyone would reimplement this, but this is fricking cool. Tbh I wanted to implement something similar for more than hackernews, but this is a nice thing to have. I especially love that you implemented a cache :)

Seems nice. Sort and filter functionality would probably add to this, but I will bookmark this for sure and try it out as a search engine for tech topics in general.

Thanks for creating this!
Keyboards have modifier keys on both sides because you would have to stretch or move your fingers out of position to type most combinations with one hand.

The Command keys on Mac keyboards are wider and closer to the center than the Alt or Windows keys on PC keyboards.
I don't know.. it seems like just another country adding restrictions like most countries have.

The idea of an open internet doesn't really work when you have countries that are not abiding by the "rules" like China that censor and utilize every chance they have to monitor user activity.

It is a sign not that the US is splitting the internet, but that work towards decentralizing stuff and evolve the web in such a way that it cannot be censored should be implemented.

Of course, countries can always "cut the cable" but that is too much of an economic hit I believe.

With GDPR, Great Firewall, Apple and Facebook's heavy handed gardens... Most of the internet is splintered.

I don't have the legal team to negotiate GDPR, so I can't make my website legal in Europe (it probably is, I collect practically nothing, but I can't be sure since IANAL.

I don't have an apple product, so my app can't be tested or converted to work in Apple devices and put in their App store.. so if you like what I made, and you don't have an Android device, you can't use it on mobile...

If you want to use my web interface, if it's Chromium, you now need to go through an extra step to unblock cookies to jump from one of my sites to another, because the subdomain changes and that's "a different website" now..

Seems like everyone is already splintering the Internet... Most of it is the US's fault, but it's not just TikTok..
This is a very difficult problem to solve. As far as I know (and am welcome to be corrected!), the current state of the art is remote attestation - Signal wrote a post about how they're doing it for their contact discovery service[0]. It's a very limited solution though.

The internet is the new TV. It stopped being a paradise for freedoms and ideas once it became popular and commercial. It’s rife with propaganda, politics, conspiracy theories, scams, advertising, and generally speaking average or below average content. The question is what is the next form of communication we can create or where can we take refuge from all this noise, until that becomes average. All guns are on the US because of the political situation but the internet in various countries is already censored or even more aggressively regulated. For those of us who want a free medium we need to create a new medium. Ideally not one where freedom means hate speech or dubious conspiracies, but one where, as the internet was in its original form, borders and censorship dont exist.
The consistency of macOS keyboard shortcuts is one of the main reasons I have huge problems switching to Linux or Windows. Despite the non-trivial amount of tweaking and customization, I could never achieve the same level outside of macOS.

Just to name a few:

- CMD+left/right: start/end of line

- CMD+up/down: start/end of file

- CMD+Shift+arrows: corresponding selection

- Alt+left/right: word movement

- Alt+Shift+arrows: corresponding word selection

- CMD+a: select all

- CMD+1,2,3: switch between tabs in browsers/iterm/IDEs/editors

(surprisingly and infuriatingly, this does not apply to native macOS tabs; e.g. in Finder Cmd+1/2/3 changes the view, but not tabs)

All that + the fact that clipboard, undo/redo, app and windows switching are ALL done via CMD makes it truly a modern hyper button. And you still have Control for Emacs bindings, which also work in most Cocoa text fields.

If you're interested, this [1] is one of the best attempts to bring macOS keybindings to Linux (in particular, Elementary OS). It's a set of settings for Autokey [2].

There is also Kinto [3], which solves one particular problem: copy-paste from terminal with consistent shortcuts.

I felt the same when I initially shifted to macOS but even though I don't like a lot about macOS, this has grown on me. Cmd key is more centrally located on the keyboard and requires less flex in your hand to reach.

No doubt. I was just pointing to a single instance and not saying they don’t remember well or that there isn’t data regarding insects in general.

I had a similar thought a few years back and researched it only to find that the fire fly population where I lived hadn’t really changed. I just happened to be keying on a memory that had a large amount of them and not taking into consideration that wasn’t the standard case. That their yearly population is dependent on certain weather conditions during specific months. And that some years they have a bumper crop and others not so much, but on average look about the same. That doesn’t mean it’s the same story where they live of course.

Probably worded it poorly though.

What's more important IMO is the erasure of time & mental overhead that are normally spent formatting. Formatting is (broadly) a giant waste of time. I honestly do not care if the result is ugly.

And that ignores the synergistic benefits of erasing all style-based co-ordination problems & arguments & bikeshedding & whatever else from the entire codebase. IMO it's a no-brainer.

Terrible article, especially the part about migrations. The automatic migration generation of Django of course cannot infer exactly how you want your schema to change if you start renaming or altering columns.
