I watched the press conference where they launched the plan. That is emphatically not what was described.

What better plan for vulnerable people is there than isolating them? You also seem to be under the impression that the plan is for no lockdown. The government has already said that there will be increasingly tight measures over the next few

The plan also relies on flattening the curve like other countries' plans. They're just calculating that people won't stay in lockdown for months, and that if they put one in place now people will start emerging just in time t

They're not operating as normal: they're telling anyone with a cough to self-isolate for seven days. And the plan isn't to quarantine over 70s who are infected: it's to quarantine them all, when they're not infected

The plan to protect the vulnerable is four months of quarantine: https://www.itv.com/news/2020-03-14/elderly-to-be-quarantine...

Yes, they've already said that they will bring in those measures in a week or two.

For the specific use of sharing on Slack, one simple way on a Mac is Command-Control-Shift-4, which saves the screenshot image to the clipboard. You can then paste that into Slack.

Being paid for something isn't the defining characteristic of a product. Google doesn't get paid by most search, YouTube, Gmail or Maps users. Doesn't mean they're not products.

You could've argued that same with IE back in the day. Didn't stop it being a breach of antitrust law

Of course SSO is a product. There are companies where that's their whole business. The fact that the customer is the developer not the end user doesn't stop that.

I've used typescript-json-schema to generate a schema based on an interface. I had a script that could regenerate the schema, and a CI script that ran ajv on a set of fixture JSON files to ensure any schema changes were backward-compat

Don't you have problems with deliverability? I've found sending emails directly from an AWS IP (i.e. not via SES) has major issues with reputation management. It's really easy to have outgoing emails mysteriously spam filtere

These weren't randomly recognised: their contact details were published on another site, and the sociopaths who visit those sites then contacted their families, employers etc.

Yikes. My kids' clothes get chucked into boxes and that takes enough time as it is. I can't imagine a situation where I'd fold them. Wedding clothes, maybe. It's not as if I'd ever iron their clothes.

I have a Google Home mini connected via Bluetooth to my amp, with 25 year old Gale speakers. That works for casting, and of course directly controlling by voice. I previously tried connecting an old Echo Dot via the wired connection, but th

That's awesome, thanks. I'll have a look when I'm next at my mum's house. They've probably got all kinds of rubbish on them, but should definitely have some of my HyperCard creations

I love these. A couple of years earlier I was writing games in HyperCard, of a similar quality. I found the disks recently, but have no idea how to play them. I don't believe those old Mac floppies will even play in any standard disk d

Are you also assuming the datacenter is free too, or are you planning to keep this in a closet? I hope you have HVAC too. And who is going to monitor this hardware? Who is going to assemble it? And sure the components are under warranty, bu

The explanations are good, but there's quite a gaping hole when you don't include any "flex-*" properties.

They may use GIS now to do it, but cartographer is still very much a job in its own right. That may not always be the job title (though it still is in many places) but just as there are loads of front end developers who aren't any good
