When a hospital system is overwelmed it will also be bad for other emergencies. The amount of people that need medical care caused by this virus should also be taken into account. And that rate is high.

There is a huge difference between confirmed infections and total infections because it is estimated that around 18% of the people never notice that they are infected. But those that get sick get very very sick. And this will put much press

Easy to change code is code you understand a year later. This includes: Easy to understand variable and function names. IDEs make autocompletion possible so don't fear long names. MyEasyToUnderstandFunction() is better than MyETUF(). F

Years ago I got the flu very bad when I was healthy. I thought I was going to die. Most of the time your body will fight the flu, but when you get it bad it is very serious. I cannot imagine why you would do this to your citizens. Depending

He is not the only one. I believe it was an Ask Me Anything with Bill Gates on Reddit. Someone asked Gates about a third world war and he replied he was more sure and worried about a pandemic. I have no doubt others in the field had the sam

Delivery is not the point. The point is that when something better comes along people switch. Tesla ruled almost all EV classes because there were simply no other EVs in those classes. But that is going to change in the near future. The Tay

In the Netherlands Tesla sales dropped from ~12000 in December 2019 to ~36 in January 2020 because those 'incentives' where dropped in 2020. So the article is a kind of old news. And what also is a kind of misleading is that overa

A: I am aware of this. But they provide the tool. B: They did not bring down any government. But the question is: is the tool named Facebook powerful enough to do so? And if true: did they do enough to prevent this? C: Maybe they are biased

Well I agree with you a lot of reasoning is very uninformed. But I don't agree Facebook isn't to blame. Power comes with responsibility. At least that is what most countries believe. So if you make money with a very powerful tool

Well it is very inconvenient, but isn't this the strength of certificates? When something is wrong you can revoke them immediately. Why leave a potential vulnerability open for more than 24 hours?

Yes this is common. There are a ton of unused IPv4 adresses. Companies, governments, universities bought ranges and maybe use 10% of them.

Well your example is kind of perfect. Around 70% of the Firefox users are blocking trackers. And Statcounter is using trackers for their stats. So the stats are very misleading. They might even prove that Firefox is very privacy aware.

I like the fact that they just designed one door and one front/back. It looks like this really reduces costs because the price is so low.

I've been using Mac OS, Windows and Linux (multiple distros) for over 20 years. To me Mac OS always had the worst UI experience. I can understand why people like it: it is clean and looks good. But clean and good looks doesn't mak

Ofcourse you can validate input! Validation != Sanitation In this thread some people seem to confuse those. You can validate if all input characters are utf-8. But the moment you start to 'sanitize' non-utf-8 input into utf-8 you

This is why you could charge a lot of money for rollover effects (most of the time image swapping). JavaScript was hard. I remember writing complex graphic applications in Director. But I think it took at least 10 years before the same was

When the crew is rescued from a ship I can imagine they see the ship as lost and it is probably going to sink. Because that's why they rescued the crew in the first place. So GPS won't help much. But I can imagine an other kind of

Can you explain what you mean with "describe my own password to me". As other point out: maybe they store some things about your password like "has four digits, starts with an S". This does not mean they store your passw

"Pro: JWT is secure" Yes, but I see a lot of implementations where the token is sent to JavaScript and is stored there. It's best to store it as secure cookie (HttpOnly) so JavaScript cannot access it.

I think Maya and 3DsMax will have the most difficult future. There are almost no releases of new functionalities and bugfixes from Autodesk while the price is high. And Blender can do what those programs can.

Note that MantaFlow also has a FLIP solver, which is a combination of a volume and particle solver. This is nice because you can simulate how a fluid changes into a foam for example. FLIP: FLuid Implicit Particle

Some things overlap, but I think your comment is more about KISS. Early abstractions don't fit KISS. And I believe banging out ugly code can still fit KISS because it does the job. DRY falls into a different category. For example if yo
