   Based on the Taiwanese newspaper capturing the temporary leak of "real" numbers, (154,000 infected and 24,500 killed ... see https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3871594 ) this was probably an overestimate, but probably not over 2-3X the actual numbers at the time.

   @geniusmusing It sounds like they could use some help in the SpeciesForce*, where they're fighting #2019-nCoV. @sean
   
   * The name is made up, but I would not be surprised to find that there was a special unit created to deal with just such an outbreak.

   @guizzy Welcome back.
   
   I'm waiting for #Urbit to be ARM compatible, so I can run it on a #Raspberry_Pi or similar SBC.

   Just found out about #Snikket https://snikket.org/ a client and server based on !xmpp !xmpp
   
   I don't think it is quite ready for use yet, but it's something to keep an eye on.

   Rumors flying because Xi has not been seen for a few days. Didn't he travel to Wuhan? Maybe he's in a 14 day quarantine.

   More #snow expected in #IL between Quincy, Springfield, Alton, and the Missouri border, but this is just a Winter weather advisory, no longer a Winter storm warning. Expires 06:00 CST Thursday 2020-02-06 (tomorrow).
   
   #NOAA / #NWS
   
   Also affected #MO, between Hannibal and Columbia and Jefferson City and across to just North of St Louis.

   Pretty sneaky to throw a "required training" due date in the weekly newsletter that no one reads. I normally delete it as soon as it comes in.

    The $EMPLOYER propaganda weekly must have had something about requiring us to complete a certain online training class by a specified date. Two TechTeam members (who really ought to know better) just e-mailed their completion certs to the entire field IT mailing list instead of the people in HQ who actually file the paperwork. And, yes, these are two people I worked with in Ba…

    @jmgresham #Lisp and #Scheme interest me. Also #Haskell. Time and energy / focus are limited, though. Maybe in the future.

    Many people talk about omg what if it mutates and becomes more fatal, but the power of the #2019ncov so far has been its ability to be carried without even causing symptoms.There are three main scenarios, one unlikely and two likely:1.

    @1iceloops123 I think it's DeVry that has (had?) a very low number of allowed absences over the whole 2-4 years. Since I worked and had a family, they were not an option for me.

    I'm so glad that #CA EdCode used to forbid this for public colleges and universities. If you're sick or if $EMPLOYER demands you work overtime, you're dinged, even if you got the notes and did the work.

    @1iceloops123 There are trade & vocational programs in some areas. It depends on what kinds of jobs your area has available. Unfortunately, I don't know what programs and what jobs are available there. Maybe your state jobservice office will be able to help.

    Just don't borrow $100K of student loans and end up working at the local Gree-C Burger, like a lot of college students do.

    “If possible, you should always use local variables over global variables, unless there’s a specific reason otherwise.” — https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Variables #Lua
    
    Going to have to read about the language’s history. I’m sure Lua is young enough to have been created after we learned that global vars should be avoided, so why global by default instead of only when expressly requested?

    This happened in the late 1990s, I think.
