    How disease modelers try to forecast the spread of diseases https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/health/disease-modeling-coronavirus-cases-reopening/ [www washingtonpost com]

    Includes #JavaScript based modeling exercise.

    Uses an imaginary disease because #COVID-19 is too complicated for this simple toy model.

      Disease modelers are wary of reopening the country. Here’s how they arrive at their verdict.

    Probably time to look into replacing Rutabaga (the Lenovo IdeaPad with 2G of RAM and 32G of eMMC disk). I was using it to look up some instructions for something I was doing on another machine. One link opened YouTube in another tab and immediately froze the machine.

    After a reboot, I went back in. The next link opened a tab full of #JavaScript. The #JabbaShit, predictably, sucked up all the RAM and froze the machine again.

    Then I thought, I won't use the browser at all. Opened an IDE, which immediately started downloading updates and again froze the machine.

    I think #sonTwo had the same sort of issues with a different model (but similar specs) IdeaPad. He had to replace it with something that has better specs.

    @musicman @geniusmusing That’s mostly #Node.js, which is a somewhat outdated fork of Chrome’s V8 engine. Considering that the browser is the least secure part of modern computers, and the #JavaScript engine is a key part of that insecurity, it is up to each person to decide whether to accept the risk.

    Personally, I’m willing to accept Node, but only in a completely separate VM or VPS from other server-side software. Which explains why I never have hosted a Pump.io instance.

    #Opa — http://opalang.org/ Opa — a language that compiles into #JavaScript ( client-side and server-side [ #Node.js ] + #MongoDB as the database. The language did a pivot ... it was originally a very functional oriented language written in #Ocaml.

    #Ur / #Urweb — http://www.impredicative.com/ur/ — a functional oriented language that copies some features from Standard ML ( #SML ), #Haskell, and #Ocaml and has libraries for web-related features.

    Looking at their sites, it looks like Opa has a more updated site and possibly a more updated language (though there was a release of Ur this year).

    I’ve watched them on and off for several years.

    In general, using #JavaScript this way is despicable enough that I'm in favor of visiting them regularly (with JS turned off) to repeatedly demonstrate its ineffectiveness.

      You may think it will take you a while to hit level 40 in Pokémon GO, but in reality it will probably take you even longer than you think.

    Turn off #JavaScript / #JabbaShit and their “turn off your adblocker” garbage won’t interfere.

    There are still a number of places where I saw “underfunded and ineffective”, but this is someone that worked there (possibly during the time when Trump is said to have shut down PRT).

    Wow. #sonTwo, who turned from the #Unix administration (local college course taught using #Linux and #FreeBSD) and C++ (local college course using Windows IDE) to theater and photography when he was in high school, suddenly finds himself needing to become acquainted with #JavaScript.

    A lot to agree with here. One thing that's missing though. The layer of software users interact with directly, is often *not* built by a software engineer, but by a graphic designer. Most #Javascript, for example. Moving this into user control, wherever possible, and putting the rest in the hands of competent engineers (paid or unpaid), would be a net improvement for all 3 groups.

    @badrihippo there's sites out there that do nothing with #Javascript disabled, and crash my browser if I let them run their woefully overengineered scripts. If I need or want to browse them anyway, something like Browsh seems ideal.

    If I get TME* this week, I'll set up a #Friendica instance for !fnetworks ... membership is only available to people with currently active Federati accounts.

    I was going to set up #Pleroma, but the PleromaFE interface has too much #JavaScript / #JabbaShit piled up ... It causes my browsers to repeatedly pop up warnings about a hung script.

    Consider it a testing instance for the time being

    For sure. I touched on another way to think about it here:
    https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/103791277016958320

    What it comes down to is that #Javascript is an excellent way for newbie developers to make their code run on other people's computers without having to pass any of the security review it would require to be installed natively. Which is exactly as bad as it sounds ;)

      #ShowerThoughts Maybe every computer ought to have two browsers; a web browser, and a network app browser. The web browser would only render #HTML/ #CSS. If a domain wanted to run client-side scripts, the web browser would ask the user if they want to open it in the network app browser. That browser would include a range of tools to allow users to decide which scripts to run, and whether to run the script as served from the domain they're browsing, or a modified version from somewhere else.
