I wish our government health agencies would do a better job at facilitating or running trials on potential treatments, or even just monitoring trials from other countries. There are now several randomized trials showing ivermectin as benefi

It is my understanding that PyPy often cannot be used due to extension problems. I didn’t think psyco had this problem.

I don’t know anything about psyco, but is there some possibility of reviving that project. Is it just too much work?

How did you do this? “semi-automatically translated it to C++” Or is that part of why you said you needed to write an essay.

I think there might be an issue with definitions. I thought maybe Raph was talking about the Observer pattern from Gang of Four, and that you are talking about Observables as incrementally computed expressions. I can remember a long time ag

As far as I know this describes Dr Zelenco’s work. Google turns up zero hits for review of this paper. This paper demonstrates efficacy for his treatment. If you have any links discrediting this work I would like to see a link. It is observ

In April, Dr Zelenco stated he had treated some 600 patients with HCQ+Zinc+Zpac with good results. And now more doctors are saying the same. Not a single trial has tested this treatment. This is why people won’t give up hope. From my readin

To my knowledge there has not yet been a trial completed with HCQ+Zinc. There are several doctors stating positive observational results with HCQ+Zinc. I’m waiting for this study to complete: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2&#

I sometimes wonder if the browser client should just be a video player. It wouldn’t be suitable for everything. Or possibly a display renderer of some sort, like postscript.

Get a passport. In CA it’s the only means of getting a second ID, aka a backup ID. I once almost didn’t get a job, because DMV was late sending me my driver’s license renewal, and for one week I had no valid ID, and that was the week I need

Weak typing is when types get automatically transformed like 2 + “3” == 5, “2” + 3 == “23”. Strong typing doesn’t do these types of automatic conversions and throws exceptions or generates a compiler error. Static typing — types checked at

Reminds me of Rich Hickey’s “Maybe Not” speech, which I understand him suggesting that programming with “sets” is better than programming with “records” that may contain optional values.

There is “case fatality rate” and there is “infected fatality rate”. The CDC has estimated the IFR, but the value varies based on assumptions. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5269331002

I think there are 2 hypothesis for HCQ. One is that it blocks autophagosome-lysosome fusion. The second is that it is a Zinc ionophore, which enables Zinc to enter cells to stop viral replication. It seems that almost all the studies are no

I tried twice to get started with Haskell. I understand the language well enough, but the standard prelude gave me problems. I forget the details, but the first attempt involved reading ASCII strings from file. I had some issue with the sta

Here is a preprint that shows HCQ plus Zinc is effective. My knowledge on this matter comes only from watching a few YouTube videos. From that it has seemed all along that the treatment required is HCQ + Zinc. Zinc is what stops viral repli

This population measurement is not useful for determining racism. It does not consider that blacks make up 13% of the population, but commit 52% of the homicides. It doesn’t consider if the shootings are justified. It doesn’t consider black

I have been wondering why so many HCQ studies do not include Zinc. A couple months ago I watched a video that detailed how Zinc once inside a cell could block replication of coronaviruses. And that HCQ being a Zinc ionophore gets the Zinc i

One thing I like about C as a systems programming language is that it is easy for every other language to bind to it. I’m fine with C++ if the external interface is extern “C”, but that is often not the case. I don’t know how easy it is for

I have no knowledge of how the integrity of the Linux kernel is protected. So a small bit of background context would be nice. The article says this is a patch set. I assume this gets reviewed before it’s allowed into the kernel. I’m assumi
