Which state is that?

If it's the pneumonia style (i.e. the infection is in the lungs, not the lymph nodes) you have to start antibiotics very quickly or it's basically 100% fatal. So it's treatable, but only to a point. The good news is basic masks and quarantine are extremely effective, so the risk of outright spread beyond the initial patients and very early health care workers is very small.

To be honest, it sounds like you just like managing code more than writing it. That's fine! Many people like to customize their editor for hours, but for me I'm more interested in the code.

> If you haven't lost work to "git reset --hard"

I haven't, because why would I ever need to run that? I've reverted individual files, but never a full repo (I've been working with Git for 15 years)

I know you mean well, but if it takes me more than a few hours to figure out a tool before it's even basically useful I'm out.

Git didn't take me hours to figure out while floundering, you `git add .`, `git commit -a -m "hello!"`, `git push` and it's instantly useful for doing the basics of making sure your code is somewhere else besides your laptop. The rest is details and comes up only when you need it.

"It's only after the many more months it takes to absorb its ways via osmosis that you start using it the way its makers intended." This is an insane take, and means jj will never take off (I will bet a large amount of money on it). Even with Vim or Emacs you can start writing within the first hour of opening it.

AH! THE YOUTH!

I've tried JJ multiple times, but always tapped out after a day. Having to work with raw SHA1 hashes is so utterly tedious and I never quite figured out how to... just use it in normal day to day work.

The book looks well done and a labor of love, but the #1 issue Git users have, merge conflicts, isn't discussed until chapter 13 (reminds me of a Neovim tutorial I read recently where "editing text" isn't until chapter 6).

Stock options are wage theft for the vast majority of employees taking it, it's gambling and the vast majority of bets don't pay off. It is genius, convincing people to work for less or free.

France and England are trying.

The problem is money doesn't build supply lines overnight. Nor does it hire experts both locally and globally and get them there. Much of the data collected on patients by USAID can't just be handed over to another government for a myriad of privacy issues. Patients then have to know that their old clinic no longer exists and they have to go to a new one (is it in the same village anymore?). In the meantime viral counts go up, people get sick, infect their partners or newborn children. You can't just "pick it up later" without causing real harm.

> or do they not care

Do we not? Why can't we care, why is it now someone else's problem because Musk is still mad Mandela was let off of Robin Island?

It is not, at all anymore.

Ok... so you have to

1. Know you were exposed (many many many people don't know they're HIV+)

2. Have the means to go to a clinic within 72 hours

3. Have the social capacity to go to the clinic safely (in many parts of Sub Saharan Africa doing so would insult your partner)

PEP is an emergency drug, not a prevention at all.

*PrEP

It... was, until Musk dismantled USAID and Congress defunded PEPFAR.

So many comments by people who have never stepped foot out the Global North making wild assumptions.

And clearly only the people in the USA matter.
