I’m working on a detailed comparison for the docs. Thanks for the feedback!

OP used the term specifically to refer to PR-generated articles in prestige media like the NYT, which was probably a direct allusion to Graham’s essay.

Do we have enough information to do this kind estimate for serious or critical symptoms, rather than just deaths? What are the chances of somebody in a given age bracket needing breathing support?

In case of a coronavirus outbreak I am definitely losing the beard if for some reason I have to leave the house. But I also use a respirator for semi-routine tasks like woodworking to minimize dust exposure.

I have a short full beard but seem to be able to form a seal. If I follow the directions for checking the seal — blocking the intake and breathing in, checking for the mask to collapse in, then blocking the outlet and checking for it to balloon out — it works. So do I have a seal or not?

Or they don’t believe the compounds are dangerous, or they don’t think they’re dangerous enough to outweigh the reduced risk of fires.

Can’t speak for OP, but noise canceling headphones are good for low-frequency noise, while passive hearing protection is better for high-frequency. For that reason I use headphones while bicycling — it blocks the loud engine noise and lets me better hear localizable sounds like tire swish.

That’s an average of about six miles a day. Would you enjoy doing some of your travel by bicycle?

Is this the same thing as the stem cell treatments offered by various clinics today?

Can confirm, have moved king-sized mattresses, large dressers and cabinets, etc via a trailer on an ordinary bicycle. It’s really easy!

Where I’m from there’s a tradition in the bike community called a “bike move”. When you’re moving, you invite everybody to show up on a certain day with their trailers and cargo bikes. Everybody packs and moves you in a distributed manner! All you have to do is provide coffee and donuts in the morning and pizza and beer for after. Fun, community-building way to move.

Never heard of this game. It has a totally different visual style from anything else on the platform. Very impressive.

Do they say what’s wrong with wool? The page they link to is paywalled.

The dining car has been full with a waitlist on every train I’ve taken that had one.

Wow, I had no idea how much the relative stature of Vim and Emacs had changed over my career.

I absolutely love that they went with a 90s cyberpunk look.

And here I was hoping that with new technology airplanes would eventually have larger windows...

Anyone know a good way to sanitize wool and high-tech fabrics?

The prisoner starting with their own number box ensures that they are in the chain with their number ticket in it.

Besides the streamlining of code review, it’s hard to overstate how much this streamlines _editing_. You can modify code so much faster if you don’t have to worry at all about formatting. Just push code around any which way, cut and paste, type some giant expression into the middle of another one. Then hit Save and move on.

And contrary to what you might expect, Prettier basically never makes stupid formatting choices. It’s incredibly nuanced.

It’s called research.

I met him a few times at conferences and we exchanged a few emails. Such an amazing mind. I really thought that Aaron was going to grow up to be one of the heroes of our generation as we got older and took on the reins more. Wonder what he’d have thought of the last few years. I feel like he embodied an energetic, optimistic, pragmatic grappling with the powers and principalities of our time, which has gone out from the world now.

Yep, thanks!

testcheck is a JavaScript equivalent.

Can someone explain what it actually does?

- The wheel of the seasons

- You run the dogs over

- Ant lions have their way

I’m constantly brushing mine by accident, not sure exactly how. I think it would be improved immensely by just being very slightly harder to trigger, either with pressure or dwell time.

Can someone tell me if their study design compensates for bias introduced by not everyone completing the study? It looks like only about 70% completed it.

This is on Mac OS. I might try the tracing idea though.

Slightly off-topic, but this reminded me of a mystery: Does anyone else experience that bash takes a long and variable time to start, on many systems and without any fancy setup of any kind? What can a shell be doing that it takes three or four seconds to start?

Surprised no one here has mentioned Transit. It's an extensible typed data format with both JSON and binary representations. In other words, you can configure custom types, such as Immutable data structures, and they'll be automatically serialized and restored for you.

Good intro: http://cognitect.github.io/transit-tour/

GitHub: https://github.com/cognitect/transit-js

Note that in the introduction they provide a simple benchmark where Transit is both more compact and faster to parse than JSON with custom hydration.
