A vaccine will hopefully bring some much needed sanity back into the world. In my country Corona related deaths are about 1% of all deaths, but it’s treated as if it is extremely deadly.

Indeed, bringing your own keyboard and mouse if necessary should be a nobrainer. Though having the employer pay for those things would be even better, but it’s not always the case.

This is the part that I don’t get, why must it be so hard to get proper tools for the job. Having a fast NVMe disk, 16/32 GB of ram and a current generation (or previous generation) CPU should be the standard for a developer. Apart fro

On a slightly related note, the Personal Access Token (PAT) used in Azure DevOps translates to tit in Danish. Having two PATs or more makes it even worse (or funnier depending on who you are). A concern would be that the feature Personal Ac

Sometimes I tend to divide the world into developers and non-developers. It is just another way of saying those who gets things done and those who don’t. People who take offense with these minor issues are very likely those who don’t get th

Fear or concern for the unknown can be a good thing, there just isn’t any studies saying conclusively that a large number of people are seriously affected. What are the long-term effects of not being able to have a normal life due to restri

Below are data for the flu in the US for 2017-18 vs. the Corona virus in 2020. Out of 120.000 deaths in both data sets, in the age group 0-4 years there were 115 deaths to flu vs. 9 to Corona for the age group 0-17. Flu 2017-18 https:&#x2F

That’s a great point, thankfully Europe is more humane than China in dealing with riots. The concern for how Corona is handled in Europe, is that the temporary measures for dealing with Corona become permanent. In Denmark these temporary me

The pandemic has allowed for European governments to introduce much of the same control as seen in China and North Korea. So it’s really not a surprise that the idea of banning encryption is on the table. So encryption as a basic human righ

I’d say Trump tapped into the sentiment of conspiracy theories by adding many of his own. But in Europe, America have always been bigger and crazier, so it’s not a big surprise to hear about the conspiracy theories. Hopefully the US can now

For me it’s the anti-gaming sentiment that Apple promotes which is at fault. Not going back to Apple until they change their ways. So hello Sony Xperia 5 II and goodbye IPhone 11.

Not really, the TDP is as the Anandtech article states, not the same as Peak Power for modern Intel and AMD CPUs. The difference between TDP and Peak Power for AMD is around 35W, while for Intel it is up to 140W. When choosing a PSU that di

In the same situation here, have an iPhone 11 that is due to be replaced. The iPhone 12 is lighter but has worse battery life, so that one is out. The Sony Xperia 5 II is the current favorite as it has very good battery life and no annoying

So, what is the right thing to do ? Turkey feels less and less like a European country as the days go by, and public behavior like this should not be tolerated.

Restrictions are most certainly not being reduced now, look to Ireland, Czechia and Poland to name but a few examples. Any kind of normality will only return when a vaccine is here, and it’s still 6-8 months away.

Is there a scientific study that backs up the “huge benefits” claim ?

Not sure what kind of response you expect here, but I’m ready to go back to the old ways today. Incidently, the way New York and Sweden have tackled the virus have been the most consistent. There was a large first wave, but no second wave (

Yes, people in intensive care or on ventilator are very close to dying, so it could absolutely affect the body and brain as described. Thing is, that very few with Corona get to such a serious condition fortunately, so this applies to a ver

Yes, i meant #1 as the Czech strategy. And you did not come across as especially angry. I get that the current Czech situation seems like wasted effort, but it seems as if even #2 is unrealistic if it will last for more than a few months.

Had the vaccine been available in august or September this year, then the Czech strategy would be best. But vaccines are not made that fast, it looks like 18 months is realistic and locking down countries that long is just not feasible. And

It has a chance to work for islands, but not anywhere else except maybe North Korea. During the last few months it has been about how to manage, while waiting for the vaccine. That plan seems to require the half-destruction of many people’s
