droidist2··on Amazon asks workers sheltering at home to return or request leave
So then trying to drive the infection rate too low before reopening could actually be counterproductive because it also slows down the building of herd immunity?

What about the option of slowing the spread or flattening the curve so it doesn't overwhelm the healthcare system?
droidist2··on A Side Effect of the Covid-19 Pandemic? Reading Got a Lot Harder
I noticed I've been much less focused and productive, but I figured it was due to being stuck inside with a lack of activity. Yes, I know going outside for exercise is technically allowed, but there's a difference between theoretically being able to do something and having it automatically built into your life (walking to do errands, etc.) Regretfully, I've never been someone who made a point to consistently exercise, but I've been recently committing to walk at least a mile each day.
droidist2··on Covid-19 twice as contagious as previously thought – CDC study
That's not bad. In the US my friend just got tested and they said 5-10 business days.
droidist2··on Covid-19 twice as contagious as previously thought – CDC study
Seems promising! I really hope it's a couple days though and not weeks like the usual coronavirus testing I've been hearing about.
droidist2··on Merkel bans meetings of more than two people to slow coronavirus
And in many Asian countries they bow. Maybe that's one reason countries like South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore were able to slow down the spread so quickly.

Surprised Alaska has so many! Is there a reason there's so many there?
droidist2··on We called it RAID because it kills bugs dead
Yes, it's very similar to Mad Men in that respect.
droidist2··on How do we stop people from blinding other drivers with aftermarket LEDs?
I wish I could do that but they're always behind me when I notice this, blinding me through my mirrors.
droidist2··on Wide-Band WebSDR – Shortwave Radio on the Internet
I'd love this, but it seems like these days people are against skeuomorphism.
droidist2··on AI can detect coronavirus from CT scans in twenty seconds
Ahh, you need to use ROC AUC or something.
droidist2··on Social distancing is the only way to stop the coronavirus
That's good that you're patronizing Asian businesses, a lot of them have been hit hard by people avoiding them due to virus fears.
droidist2··on Why have contestants on “The Price is Right” become so much worse at guessing?
That's true, also food makes up a lower portion of people's expenses these days, with housing taking a higher amount.
droidist2··on Coronavirus outbreak makes lobsters so cheap that sellers face a fatal blow
You're not the only one who messed that one up.

droidist2··on Year Without a Summer
I like summer too, but I think because time has sped up so much I've adapted to preferring spring because it's an anticipation of summer.
droidist2··on 88% of Americans use a second screen while watching TV
How many consider the TV as being the second screen?
droidist2··on Hippy: React Native Alternative by Tencent
>I've been having this same problem with Rust lately. Frankly, I think it's true for any package platform you use.

Right, people act like node_modules is extremely special. They open the folder and say "Look at all of the files, what a mess!" as if other languages don't have this. Just in most other languages it's more hidden from you.

droidist2··on Show HN: FortyQ – Answering any question in forty-two minutes
Probably another reference to "42" but 42 cents would be too cheap.
droidist2··on React Suspense
Yes, it's pretty cool, like an advent calendar: https://react.christmas

Also several other topics following the same template: https://bekk.christmas

I love the different color patterns.

droidist2··on Google AdWords charged me for clicks in Istanbul while location-targeting the US
Maybe they're going to blackmail everyone. $10 a month or all your past Google searches get published.
droidist2··on The Case Against Boeing
Exactly, and you have Elon Musk retweeting the guy who slept the whole ride home in his Tesla and giving him an attaboy.
droidist2··on How we failed, then succeeded, at migrating to TypeScript
What about instead maintaining the type definitions in a separate file, and then having the editor add in the type hinting?

For faust you have 2015 but it should be 2002.

Wow! I guess LifeLock doesn't work after all.

Wish it was sortable by date
droidist2··on How China Unleashed Twitter Trolls to Discredit Hong Kong’s Protesters
I see this in YouTube comments a lot on Hong Kong-related videos. Also they flag videos. A Cantonese language YouTuber I follow posted one video with her opinions and got flagged and hit with a strike on her account.

Bots? Andrew Yang is right, the robots are gunning for our jobs!
droidist2··on Huawei has started selling laptops with a the Deepin Linux OS pre-installed
When people insult Americans are they being racist?
droidist2··on Open Startups List
That's true, but not what they mean by that saying. It's distinguishing between the two common usages of "free" to clarify that free and open-source software isn't about price.

droidist2··on New React DevTools
One thing I like about having React DevTools installed is you can easily see which sites use React because the little icon lights up. It's a surprising amount these days; React is getting so popular.
