Delta-infected patients seem to be 1.8 times more likely to be hospitalised, compared to Alpha-infected patients [1]. Since the covid virus takes two weeks plus to kill its host and also spreads while the host is asymptomatic, there really

I'm surprised Kanban is only mentioned cursorily. Limiting work in progress is one of, if not the, point of Kanban.

We've switched to Svelte for new projects at work, from React. It feels like a significant improvement, especially regarding unnecessary complexity and verbosity. The UI component libraries for Svelte are still lacking in maturity, tha

I had the same reaction as others to "elite". I think you risk putting off the actual elite professionals and attract the aspirational with that phrasing. If that's not the intention, cutting "elite" will probably h

By all means, stick to your React or Java backend or whatever it is you do if that's where you feel most comfortable. No need to feel so threatened by new alternatives.

Some of us are attracted to JS dev because of the rapid evolution and change. React is well-tested and mature, I'm simply stating that for me personally going back to it would be frustrating after developing in Svelte.

UI component libraries for Svelte are a little lacking in maturity in my experience. I would recommend including a CSS library such as Bootstrap or Materialize. Tailwind is also popular, but not my cup of tea.

Our test coverage of the Svelte apps is meagre so far to be honest.

I feel the same way. We've switched from React to Svelte at work. Going back to React would be a step backwards for us, so much feels needlessly overengineered with awkward APIs. React was a great improvement on Angular, but luckily th

How do we know if it was the meditation, the snow bathing or the breathing exercises that had effect?

I do all my coding in VS Code now (JS, Elixir and sometimes even Java).

I used IntelliJ for almost two years, JS and Java. I hope I never have to use it again. It's laggy, clunky and with a less than intuitive UI. Yes, it is powerful but it doesn't weigh up for its shortcomings.

Depends where you live and work I suppose. I used to work in a consultancy firm in Norway that was all in on Angular two-three years ago. Angular has been very popular in enterprise here. But Twitter and Reddit reach enterprise too in the e

Angular seems to be dying. Svelte is an interesting contender. I think it will be React's main competitor given a year or two.

> It would be interesting if there ever was a standard app container runtime that doesn't use HTML/JS/CSS. Flutter Web is attempting something like that I suppose. Not that I think it will take off.

We just tried Svelte in a small project at work, and it was a pleasant experience. Like its small api footprint and closeness to plain html/js and its small bundle size. In our setup with parcel we didn't get good error messages a

> I don't think Svelte is that place. How come? I'm fine working with either React or Svelte, but I prefer Svelte's simplicity and small bundle size. What would be a good React alternative that is not Svelte?

Tesla obviously is a bubble. It's hype that hasn't delivered in its promises, and certainly not on its returns. But the fact that the company itself isn't worth much doesn't mean you can't make money from it in the

I share much of the sentiment. I like the simplicity of Go, but I think they took it too far an ended up with something too dumbed down and lacking in abstractions and expressive power. It feels like a step backwards coming from other conte

Usually such masks are N95 masks. It's possible to get a variant where the air out is also filtered. I wasn't aware of this problem with many N95 masks until very recently.

True, but it's also a bit utopian :) Elixir has good support for writing NIFs in e.g. Rust for heavy computational tasks.

Mania is debilitating, that's one of its diagnostic criteria. The milder hypomania can be both productive and pleasant for some though. It can be useful to think of bipolar mood and behaviour along two axes: depressed vs. elated mood a

Markets are not rational, they exhibit crowd psychology and as such are more primitive and irrational than individual behavior. Quite a few professional traders, hedge funds and even retail traders consistently outperform the indexes. They
