News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Great to see initiatives like this. However, everyone who can should be using a teledoc and getting instructions before visiting a testing site. Otherwise you're putting healthcare providers and patients in danger (a former colleague drove to multiple stations to try to get tested and he interacted with a bunch of HCPs).

Do you mind making it clear in the tool that someone viewing the site should first contact a teledoc?

https://www.coronawhatnow.com - a website focused on helping people and businesses impacted by coronavirus.

Examples:

-Food banks (individual sites or directories)

-Financial aid

-Elderly grocery shopping hours and delivery

-Healthcare (shelter in place info, testing like Verily Baseline, etc)

This info is currently scattered across the Internet and we're aggregating it in one place. It's hosted on Github using markdown so anyone with spare time can be a massive help (https://github.com/coronawhatnow/coronawhatnow.com).

Flowlingo dev here. Thanks for the feedback! It's been a while since I've taken French, but one thing we plan on adding is translations of individual words in-context. For example, in Spanish, if you tapped an individual verb, the translation would be properly conjugated in relation to the sentence.

Re:Facebook Wins “Worst API” in Developer Survey on Thursday August 11, 2011 @09:09PM (#2875542)
Hey everyone, I'm a partner engineer at Facebook. I posted a response on TechCrunch, where I originally read about this study. Here's a link to my reply: http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/11/facebook-wins-worst-api-in-...

In short, we're working hard and making strides, but we have a lot of work to do. We love hearing feedback—keep giving it to us. It keeps us hungry to make things better.
