The day 1 in this case is the day symptoms begin. The 14 day figure is more of a recommendation for the duration of quarantine, intended to cover incubation period in excess. As a sample of a timeline that actually happened, you can check o

Having the environment containerized, you can run the software on your hardware in conditions equivalent to production. That’s it; whether or not your IDE also uses the environment inside the container doesn’t detract from that. Personally,

Catalina works well for me, installed in November 2019 on a new machine. I keep an install of Mojave for software compatibility reasons. I believe it’s just in a separate APFS container, the setup described in an Apple’s guide. There were i

I mean purely custom elements, no React at all (which should not be of concern to browser vendors anyway). The metrics that would matter are similar to what we see in browser developer’s tools profilers—ones that measure the approximate tim

Replacing all identifier names with random strings (perhaps excluding built-ins and third-party dependencies), and then having an outsider try and understand what the program does in under N minutes, could be such an interesting litmus test

I wish browser vendors, instead of native lazy loading for images, focused on a universal mechanism to lazily render arbitrary elements, including custom ones. Browsers could profile how long rendering a particular type of element takes on

I know about Touch Designer, but it is not a game engine and to my knowledge does not really specialize in fully real-time high-resolution detailed 3D rendering.

An interdisciplinary mashup I’m curious about is using videogame engines (e.g. Unreal) for quality real-time 3D rendering responding to e.g. audio signal (music) or motion, and creating cool art installations / live performances based

With a Slavic language as my first, I generally feel like adding “please” or “thanks” makes a request canned-polite; essentially it distances the speaker from the receiver. That said, the effect could be adjusted with carefully chosen inton

Giving security flaws the publicity they deserve: I’m most unreservedly in favor. Using publicity to hold someone hostage in order to extract money while hiding behind security concern claims: not a good image. If I were in a situation wher

The whole affair seems bordering on blackmail: “pay me, MS, or your customers will get hacked”. If you were truly concerned about security, you’d have just transferred the domain over. If you want to make a good profit off of that, though,

I believe the author of this article went from OK Boomer to OK <videogame> Doomer, going from <subculture> Doomer to <videogame> Doomer seems way out of left field. Hence the original commenter’s confusion.

Setting number of infected humans at 30k, there can be as many as 300 deaths for mortality to be limited to 1%. Unfortunately, both numbers are fluid, but the assumption is that death count is less so. If the number of deaths is underreport

by goblin89 7y ago
Assigning 50% chance of death to any patient remaining in the hospital when calculating mortality rate would be nuts, I can only thank the epidemiologists for not publishing the number.

by goblin89 7y ago
I try to keep that in mind, but I also keep in mind that many people do not report to the hospital when sick.

I am ready to change my position on this, but not until I see any proof that only deaths in ICUs are reported by China as part of the statistic.

If hospitals err on safe side and do not report recoveries promptly (they probably have other business to deal with), applying this method at such early stage would not result in correct numbers, even supposing the virus is well-studied en

That's true. Still as someone with anxieties I find it a useful perspective to assess personal threat level. First reaction is "I need to avoid becoming infected at all costs". However, the costs are steep. An extreme plan t

Are you aware of any such estimates? Death is more difficult to hide than fever.

by goblin89 7y ago
Running the official numbers, mortality rate is less than 3%. If we plug in estimative models claiming 25000+ unrecorded infections, mortality is less than 1%. Unless you are in a sensitive age group or have other health problems, data sugg
