Because doxxing as a strategy has a nasty habit of ruining the lives of people that turn out to be innocent. Skipping legal process and all that.

We had a couple of months of that, and now not only is traffic back up to the same density as before, it also feels like a fair number are driving just a little bit worse. It could be my imagination though..

Where is it up to the same density. It isn't here (Austin, TX)

Auckland, NZ

"Had to" usually implies coercion of a sort. Like you might say "in PE class we had to stand on one leg for 10 minutes".

I've had experiences where "Had to" was like

"If I wanted the outcome I was aiming for I had to.... (workout?)" This is how I took the sentence. A totally volitionally accepted responsibility

Forcing people to sleep in the office asa strategy to fix a complex system is surely a sign that someone was not thinking about context?

I've seen a few interfaces with this issue now, another one being ultimaker cura (might be fixed in a current version) and the occasional game. Every time has been with scaling on, and always seems to move the clickbox down and to the right. Would love to know what causes it.

This makes little sense in context. Whether or not someone finds something desirable doesn't matter if their experience is that it doesn't happen in practise. It's hard to unlearn painful lessons in trust.

Still have very find memories of exploring, have been waiting ever since for another realistic open world game based in London.

> The biggest advantage of touch screens is that they are infinitely reconfigurable

Not sure I buy this line of thought. A computer keyboard is an example of an infinitely configurable physical interface

Keyboards aren't really configurable at all. I mean sure, you can decide what each button does in a given context but at the end of a day you have a fixed number of buttons.

With a touchscreen you can change the size of the buttons, because if you have fewer options you can make them easier to hit. Or you can have (limited) other forms of control. You can have "analog" sliders and rotating dials.

Additionally you can configure between output and input which is valuable when you are space constrained. (which is probably not an issue in cars)

Is anyone still using bower?

Also webpacker for rails is somehow both insanely complex and alright to use.

A perfect proof for GP's/TFA's point.

To this I'll only add that "follow these instructions carefully + magic happens" works only for ~6 months after a tutorial is published, longer than that and some dependency or toolchain update somewhere is bound to break the instructions in a way incomprehensible to a novice.

Not only to a novice. I was recently contracted to update a client from rails 4 to 5.2, which included updating sprockets, which ended with us downloading the source code of all the gems to because nobody could figure out why the html would contain the correct url for the asset, but rake would first produce the file during asset precompilation and then later delete it during cleanup. 2 days wasted on broken magic...

Oh I agree, my current preferred way to use Rails is as an API with no frontend at all.

Because if we do that now hopefully we won't have to do it again.

That's my point. If your end goal is to have zero cases and not just a small manageable number, that will require severe ongoing restrictions - for example, probably no travelers from Europe or the US for years. It won't be just a matter of having good coronavirus infrastructure in place.

That's correct and that's exactly what the leadership of AU+NZ are discussing at the moment as per the article.

>The meeting discussed a possible "trans-Tasman bubble", where people could go between Australia and New Zealand freely, and without quarantine. But she said visitors from further afield were not possible any time soon.

Trade will still occur of course. There doesn't seem to be a documented risk of COVID spreading via cargo ships. Tourism is the issue.

The hope is that since AU/NZ have more or less as much outgoing tourism as they do incoming tourism the economic damage from border closures can be mitigated by directing tourism internally and bilaterally. New Zealand has been at 0 new cases for days now and Australia seems to be just a couple of weeks behind on getting COVID-19 to zero new cases. There were 24 new cases in Australia yesterday but that's far away from the peak 500+ they had in March. So it's a possibility.

The only risk to these two nations is foreign travel sparking a new wave of infections. So foreign travel will have to be restricted. In all other respects life will go back to normal. I don't think the same is true of any other nations in the world right now. Nowhere else will you be able to live normally without that risk.

Seriously if the best negative anyone has against the quarantine is you'll have to continue to restrict international travel now that you've literally got the number to 0 new cases you've lost me. That's such a small price to pay.

We can have travellers from anywhere, they will just need to accept two weeks quarantine. It's not perfect but it's better than no travel at all.
