Deaths are rare because the populace in the affected area is notified when the virus reaches serious levels of contamination, and they can take preventive measures. As is done in this case. So yes, exactly like in this case and Coronavirus, notifying people of the dangers gives them the opportunity to take protective measures before widespread tragedy takes place.
Good point. EasyMorph (I'm the founder) auto-generates human-readable HTML documentation on workflows in plain English. It's not perfect, but not bad either.

Correct. Same reason I learned a bunch of German words writing against supposedly English-dev'd and platform agnostic abstractions.

It's a fucking mess, but boy do they print money.

People often think about coding, but that's generally a small piece of it.

Typing is a form of structure, and especially a kind of documentation.

When encountering APIs of various kinds 'typing' is part of how they are expressed.

It's hard to build large monoliths without typing.

When working with 'wide scope' problems, when the typing is more oriented towards the data, that's another thing altogether, which is why I think for many systems untyped JS and Python works well enough there.

What most typed systems lack is a fluent way of mapping to 'data types' which are often external to the system, or at least externally defined.
I love this kind of content. Digging deep and showing the exploration process.

Careful not to mix up definitions. "Long-term" in medicine does not mean "extended period of time." It more often means "requiring continuous monitoring or care over an extended period of time." COVID-19 patients are still actively monitored, especially now as we have meta-studies just released this month showing SARS-CoV-2 appears to have some preference to selectively target ACE2 (vasodilation). We don't have concrete alphas on any target yet, but we certainly have longitudinal studies in progress. It's been one year from the first cases appearing in Wuhan. We have traced and confirmed more than a dozen variants originating in post-Wuhan areas. The recent surge in new cases is owed almost exclusively to two variants with significantly higher transmissibility.

Last, I'd like to point out that while I agree this type of virus is relatively new to humans, and the -2 virus is very new, we do have a wealth of longitudinal knowledge from SARS and MERS cases to work with in conjunction with what we are discovering about SARS-CoV-2. So far, it is not the patients with respiratory illness that we need to be concerned about. It is the patients with zero respiratory symptoms, but high risk of other cardiovascular and autoimmune symptoms. I think we're more baffled by how this one virus can go from putting someone on a ventilator to putting someone at a significant risk of stroke in such a short period of time.

That said, I agree with you that these are apples and oranges. The brain-eating amoebas are a panic thing. COVID-19 is not something to shake a fist at. COVID-19 has been found in spinal fluid. Given SARS and MERS do not share this trait, we have a lot more reason to take -2 as a serious threat, regardless of its extremely high short-term survival rate.
I would argue that “things in the Communist Manifesto” defines communism, in the same way that “things in the Bible” defines Christianity even though some (lots?) of the Bible originated in Judaism.

That said, I was asking for an example of the concept of free schooling from before socialism, and I got it :)
Driving between towns?
Well regardless, i still don't know what type of point OP was trying to make.

The interest in this story is obviously not because anyone thinks there is an actual world wide risk of a massive outbreak of brain eating amoebas. Things can be both interesting and not the start of a zombie apocolypse at the same time.
Thank you for pointing that out since it seems to explain why the space bar behaves erratically. I far prefer the space bar to hunting down the k-key when trying to relax.
Why it evolved right here on HN of course.
As a bit of a nit-pick, it's not _that_ new - see languages like ML, SML, OCaml, Miranda, Haskell, Coq, etc. that combined the notion of types from programming languages and types from mathematics. It's more that it's only recently that _industry_ has been learning about it.

That said, I definitely think you're right to point that this is a new thing for industry, and not just a swing back to the idea of types that were previously mainstream in industry. I'm excited too!
yes, this should be upvoted.

"we destroy history" reminded me of these guys:

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-mi...

> As IS notes in the eighth issue of its own publication, the glossy Dabiq magazine, they see ancient cultural heritage as a challenge for the loyalties and legitimacy of Iraqi or Syrian people to IS itself.

Destroying such heritage is thus a part of their duty, as they see it, to reject such a "nationalist agenda" that the statues, temples, and indeed, cities represent.

To some degree, describing such desecrations as a "war crime", as the UN has , nicely plays into IS' hands - as do articles on the subject.

But the internet cannot be un-invented, and unless we are to surrender some of our closest held beliefs on freedom of speech, we cannot stop dissemination of such depressing stories.

We must, therefore, respond however we can.

Calm reasoning exposing the hypocrisies, the practicalities, and the banalities of IS' policies is a step towards demystifying and debunking the likes of IS as just yet another political organisation.

i guess we surrendered our "closest held beliefs of freedom of speech" in just 5 years.

In Finland there is effort to capture carbon from industrial emissions and eventually from the air. Pulp mills are very promising.

Turning the cons of concrete into pros (carbon-cured concrete)
https://www.vttresearch.com/en/news-and-ideas/turning-cons-c...

>carbon-cured concrete: in carbon curing, concrete is cured with gaseous carbon dioxide, from the plastic phase forward. The curing of concrete with pressurized carbon dioxide generates not only the ordinary reaction products of cement but also carbonate-based reaction products. Consequently, the process binds carbon dioxide, and it is even possible to make the final product carbon negative if ordinary cement is replaced with alternative binders with a low carbon footprint.

> Like all animals, we share a common ancestor with insects. At what point do you imagine our ancestors evolved this property that you imagine insects lack?

Would you claim that sub-atomic particles have consciousness? If not, and if you accept that humans have consciousness, then there are two options:

1) The step occured somewhere between sub-atomic particles and humans, so why not somewhere between insects and humans?

2) Consciousness is gradual, in which case I wouldn't be surprised if an insects consciousness is closer to a sub-atomic particle's consciousness than to a human's consciousness.
Congratulations on a neat project!
I don't think we want 100yr old buildings (except for history like a famous temple etc.). Certainly in my country old buildings are not designed in any environmentally conscious way. They aren't energy saving. They aren't in any way designed to be naturally cooler in the summer or hotter in the winter. They aren't designed for the changing needs of society which went from walking and horses 100 years ago whatever it is today. Why would I think a building made today is going to be a good building for the needs of people 100yrs from now?
I think you are wrong.

1. From a technical point of view, The mere fact of a single model responsible for all decisions is bad. The inherent variance of judges opinions in concrete cases is the best way to fight bias. Bias by definition means less variance. Consolidating all decision making will tremendously worsen the bias.

2. From a moral point of view, law is made by people for people. It is a convention and ritual which gets it's moral validity from it's connection with tradition. We can hardly quantify these things let alone incorporate them to an ML algorithm. We ensure these by having people study for years, take bar exams, and through apprentenship programs. Do you really believe the state of the art in ML can come close to this? As a practitioner of ML, I know we can at most replace human activities that usually don't require any training, and are done by a human in a few seconds.

3. ML is really crappy. But is hyped as fact based and scientific. This is dangerous, a judge seeing a prediction by an algo is forced to comply with the algo, otherwise he'll be scrutinized for dismissing objective facts.
It's good for you to focus on the safety of a car's driver and passengers. Cars these days are so big for some reason, all the more reason to make them crash-worthy and safer by making them more robust by making them more weighty.

Also, the top speed of 60mph is pittiful when an SUV can go at 90 easy. I wonder why anyone would allow something so unsafe as these vehicles on the road.

(btw, half of this post was heavy sarcasm).
I’ve discussed this with colleagues over lunch several times. The idea wouldn’t exactly be random, we’ve discussed a hash of the current date modulo some number of choices.

So for any frequent choices, come up with n options and then take the hash of the date or weekday, or just pick a random number. Then do modulo n to determine the choice for the day.

The nice thing about a hash is that the result feels random but could exhibit a recognisable pattern over time.
That makes newcomers a juicy target for competitors to leave fake negative reviews. If you need to pony up $10000 to start a vendor account, a competitor can spend $1000 to leave 40 bad reviews, assuming $50 each and reselling at a 50% loss.

If you need a 90% positive rating to be trusted, you'll need 400 good reviews, about $20000 in turnover.

It's too cheap to ruin a vendor and too expensive to maintain one.
> It should also integrate with Latex to look consistent

How does latex determine how the pngs you include should look like? Or are you worried the uml diagrams look too old?

Edit: Added those parts back.

I'm using Lucidchart to create uml diagrams, which I export as pngs and embed in latex. Costs a couple dollars. I like Lucidchart more for the freeform diagrams where I want to position everything to look pleasing

Then theres yuml, which I render to svg and then with inkscape to png. I used yuml for a sequence diagram because positioning each one manually felt unnecessary.
is it like a tilera?
> One that they didn't mention was our artifacts on the moon which will last 100 million years or so. Geostationary and HEO satellites will stay for a while but I'm not exactly sure how
long.

Erosion due to micrometeorites erodes the surface of the moon at 1mm per 1e6 years [1]. I wonder whether erosion of human-made moon artifacts will commence at a comparable rate.

Note that the hull thickness of the apollo lander is just 0.3 mm [2]. Part of the propulsion system, tanks etc. would be the components to last longest, butt 100 million years may be quite a stretch.

Having been targeting Windows since the 3.0 days, I think those politics are responsible for some monumental failures.

Like Longhorn, as everything .NET was hard to swallow for them. Later confirmed, from my point of view, when Joe Duffy recounts how some devs reacted at the internal success of Midori.

So we got Longhorn core stuff redone in COM instead for Vista, and by the time Windows 8 came out WinRT, with an .NET runtime incompatible with CLR, including only able to understand the MSIL that the team considered relevant for firstly MDIL (Windows 8/8.x) and then .NET Native (Windows 10 onwards).

Now we have Reunion trying to sort out the mess, brining everything back into Windows 7 like development stack, where UWP is just the COM evolution and both worlds (Win32 / UWP) share the same sandboxing and container models.

And in the process .NET 5 is focusing on the desktop side, with .NET Native having an uncertain future, and a big question mark if CoreRT will ever take its place.

Ah and then there is the whole story of them killing C++/CX via C++/WinRT, in name of ISO C++ compatibility, for a bunch of libraries that are anyway Windows specific.

Now they realised that telling everyone to just wait for ISO C++23 to gain C++/CX features wasn't the most welcoming decision to "Developers, Developers, Developers".

C++/WinRT only feels better for those that have eschewed C++/CX and used the real man WRL (ATL like) template library, which naturally was the Windows team.

Those politics really suck from the outside.
For me it was the opposite. I started out with dynamically typed, then switched to statically typed for many years, then I realized that types were almost worthless (and even harmful in some cases in terms of how they influence design/architecture) and I switched back to dynamically typed and never looked back.

Nothing beats good testing and good architecture design.
Well, if anyone is still using screensavers in 2020, there is a good chance they’re running a 90’s system too :)
That's great until you work for a company that bought Macs for everyone for their design and upper-management likes to keep it that way.

I agree, though under the current circumstances I would have no problem with having individuals who do not honour quarantine rules "jailed" in quarantine hotels (we have one in Iceland).

Not specifically talking about these supposed two French tourists. Iceland obviously has had domestic cases of individuals who believe the virus to be a hoax, and thus decided not to quarantine after being tested positive.

These individuals were, according to memory, held against their will during the remainder of their quarantine and fined.
I can see why you'd say that yeah, it could probably use some trimming down of the less widely applicable instructions. But I don't otherwise think having a set of disparate, seemingly unrelated instructions is a bad thing for something like bitmanip, as long as they all pull their weight.

I think they do have an official working group. I remember reading a few months ago their working GCC PoC had ~4% dynaminc instruction reduction in SPECint and some 5% perf improvement. Nothing world-shattering, but considering that the instructions are pretty lightweight to implement in hardware, the cost-benefit seems decent.

(Full disclosure: I am not a RISC-V member or particularly invested in bitmanip, just some random person going off of what I remember!)
Show me just one example of this happening today. Just one.

See https://www.claerygreen.com/Family-Law-Blog/2015/April/Filin... . If Proposition 8 had been allowed to stand, and if a gay couple had claimed the state tax break reserved for heterosexual married couples, the state revenue agency would have rejected their return and demanded payment of the additional tax they owed, plus interest and penalties.

Then, if the couple refused to pay, eventually someone with a gun would have come to their door. Try it yourself, if you don't believe me. It happens every day to people who refuse to pay their taxes.

That's the very definition of "force." It's the only power a government ultimately has. And it's a much bigger deal than being harassed on Facebook.

With Brendan Eich's help, a mob of seven million people attemped to bring this hypothetical scenario to life. Since then, the Trump administration has stocked the Federal courts with hundreds of far-right judges, including several rated 'unqualified' by the ABA, whom I suspect would have let the law stand. Hopefully we won't have to find out. If the next Brendan Eich refrains from trying to incorporate the Bible into state and Federal law because he's terrified of what might happen to his career, I'm OK with that.

To quote you, sounds like you've made up your mind on this issue.

That's a safe assumption.

Because 30+ years of experience have taught me to only use platform languages for production code.

Clojure, Kotlin and Scala are guests with temporary permit until the landlord acquires all features that matter to the masses, then they will join Beanshell and friends.

Julia and Common Lisp are the landlords of their own stacks.

As for the feature of the language themselves, I always considered myself polyglot, using the platform languages for each kind of deployment scenario.
While whoever is blocking content indeed finds themselves between a rock and a hard place and will never be able to please everybody, I don't think there is only a choice between "leave it up" and "block it".

I think one solution would be to archive certain violent imagery in a nonpublic storage and give access to historians, journalists and scientists on a project basis to these. This isn't without challenges and cost, but as a humanity we have to do certain things to make sure violations of our human rights don't get flagged for deletion. I just wish our great minds would actually care about problems like these beyond chasing the next market based disruptive technology with totally unclear societal consequences.
The problem is that the system isn’t falsifiable. If the model says someone won’t turn up to court they are locked in cells until their trial, how will you know whether it was right or not? If you randomly release people as a test of the model then this is firstly unfair but secondarily won’t necessarily reveal small scale problems with the model that only affect certain groups of people because the sample will be small.

This also ignores the large impact that going to jail tends to have on people’s lives. I don’t think it is reasonable to simply dismiss the likelihood of bias.
Oh God, how I miss the tactile buttons on my HP-48.

There's actually a fair amount of recent research on consciousness in insects. There's hardly universal agreement and no one really thinks consciousness is a binary yes/no thing but I get the impression that most researchers are willing to say that insects have many signs of consciousness putting them further along the spectrum than previously thought.

Here's just one of the many articles about consciousness in insects: https://www.americanscientist.org/article/expanding-consciou...

You can do it with arrow keys, too. I remember doing this all the time back on Windows 3.1 and I'm sure it's still used now especially by people with disabilities.

Anyway, there's a way to fix this: send a reference to the key-down event when you send the key-up event. Then the receiving window can determine if it cares about it or not. If this is a security hole, send a reference to the window where the key-up event was sent instead.
> How does latex determine how the pngs you include should look like?

In my comment integration refers to text selection and font rendering. As much as I find TikZ too "cloying", I have to admit the end result looks terrific. However, I would settle for anything that improves my current setup. Next time I'll give a try to Lucidchart (by the way, I saw your previous comment). I currently do embed pngs because I find TikZ too verbose.
