> (out of a sample of 100 people) For every one person who dies: * 19 more require hospitalization. * 18 of those will have permanent heart damage for the rest of their lives.

> One study published in March found that out of 416 hospitalized Covid-19 patients, 19% showed signs of heart damage.

Assuming 19 in 100 require hospitalization, according to the study: 19% of 19 will have heart damage or 3.61. Similar breakdown for other points.

Disclaimer: shutdown was the right call and the point is still valid with smaller numbers (they’re still huge). Just pointing it out.

I just spent 5 minutes typing this up only to see your post.. thank you for also noticing. The other point made from this source (about permanent lung damage) is also wrong. I don’t see sources for the other numbers.

I agree never closing the economy would’ve been a total disaster. But the math here is bad.

My first gig was a HLASM/COBOL internship at an insurance company.. so true, 10k line programs with all globals was the entire codebase. Navigating it with only a 3270 emulator gave me headaches but in a way it was fun. Coding it felt like doing a sudoku.

Trying to follow a link on a readme or something to another file within the github repo always results in “something went wrong” (iOS).

I think part of the issue is some places (where I am too) use medium for their blog and medium requires an image. Not sure if other blogging platforms do the same though.

I think it was the italics that did it.

I feel the first is better, mainly because if the functions are named appropriately, from a glance you can glean the general idea of what the function does. And with modern ide’s, I think navigating that structure is easier than scrolling through the latter.

Of course I just got stuck writing jupyter notebooks for a month so I’m against all the scrolling crud.

5 definitely isn’t, it’s not a gender specific comment and backed up by the post lol.

You don’t have to be a power user to want to read reviews chronologically; your mother isn’t the average user either.

This is something I noticed as a first time user.

Lay/laid as their ‘descent to barbarism’ makes me scared what they’d say about me..

Pretty sure that’s done automatically like go-fmt or other similar tools. It’s zero effort and makes it easily to read. Also lots of languages have that import syntax (python import pandas as pd).

Every koan post I’ve seen has had these in the comments.

Right there with you. I’m doing pretty decent, making 85k but straight out of college. At a nice start up in a big city. But 800k at Netflix? Good god.. I should mention I’m ‘straight out of college’ at 27, so that’s contributing, too.
