The recommendation that “mass gatherings” be postponed or canceled. WHO defines “mass gatherings” as amplifiers of transmission of COVID19. The recommendations you linked are basic infection prevention measures, but the fact is that being w

Point of any measures would be to slow the spread of COVID19 and reduce the likelihood of an overwhelming wave of infections that cripples the health system, resulting in greater loss of life than otherwise would occur and unrelated mortali

Shocking to see that sunk cost fallacy and groupthink are driving decision making rather than sound science and medicine. Here’s a rather ironic example: HIMSS 2020, a conference of ~45000 attendees from 90+ countries is still scheduled to

Really, care to share any examples? Is California on the no-fly list? The HIMSS protocol is basically PR B.S. with a bunch of half measures like: - “Attendees should not travel to HIMSS20 if they are feeling unwell.” - “HIMSS is providing g

HIMSS 2020, a conference of ~45000 attendees from 90+ countries is still scheduled to go forward at Orlando Convention Center March 9-13. I was actually blocked by HIMSS PR folks on Twitter for inquiring about their preparedness plan... whi

HIMSS is using the word "isolated" [1]. HHS defines "isolation" and "quarantine" as the following [2]: "Isolation is used to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy.

So... if we’re not in the high mortality demographic we should just engage in activities that could be a catalyst for pandemic and significant loss of life? Not sure I follow your thinking.

They (HIMSS PR) blocked me for asking about the preparedness plan (which is completely inadequate) on Twitter... maybe I should have asked via email, but it seemed like a conversation that the community would have interest in. They seem to

My early riser father in-law likes to give me a hard time about sleeping in until ~8 a.m. (in a very “Meet the Parents” passive aggressive way) - he then proceeds to take naps throughout the day... and seems to have zero ability to focus.

Ha! This selling point is just one in a miserable litany of poor reasons to use an ORM - you absolutely cannot simply switch between databases without doing some work to ensure that the data is migrated correctly and the SQL statements tran

In my observation, this demographic is most densely concentrated in the JavaScript community. Not sure what that says about the language itself, but there’s definitely a glut of unprofessional JS devs out there.

I constantly see devs applying DRY in ways that conflict with the “single responsibility principle”. It’s like they just stop at DRY because it’s a simple concept to understand and relatively easy to defend . I’ve seen people essentially la
