A nice summary on the changes in Thailand.
That being said, Test&Go had zero impact on spread in Thailand (which is obvious by looking at number of new cases since Test&Go was first implemented, as well as the fact that cases in non-Thai people is insignificant - except for Burmese and Cambodian who most likely entered the country illegally to do factory and construction work while living in a small room with a lot of other migrant workers). source

And here we go again.
If you look at the number of cases throughout everything then you can see Test&Go had zero effect on number of cases: https://github.com/djay/covidthailand. If you look at cases in Non-Thais then you can also see that the number is almost non-existent except from the Burmese/Cambodian that would no doubt continue to enter the country illegally even if they shut down everything.

Friday 30th - 17,345 confirmed cases and 117 deaths
if you look at deaths alone it could have been 30k 11 days ago from my calculations - https://github.com/djay/covidthailand/wiki/cases_infections_estimate_2.png and that doesn't take into account excess deaths or other factors that could adjust that figure.

Drop in cases: 14,150 cases & 118 deaths.
New testing data in. We are now close to 20% positive rate https://github.com/djay/covidthailand/wiki/positivity_2.png
- Saturday update: 14,260 cases & 119 deaths

Ask HN: Anyone looking for contributors for their open source projects
I'd like to make a pitch for Openlibrary.org the free online library from Internet Archive that includes a fulltext search of millions of books.
I've been volunteering with them on and off for several years and it's always a lovely experience. Their backend is python and frontend mostly from python templates and some Vue for librarian stuff.
Every Tuesday they have a call on Zoom that everyone is welcome to join to share what they're working on, ask for help, and generally chat a bit. It's a great time.
Depending on what you're interested in there's a lot to do from helping build import pipelines for more book entries, writing bots to cleanup data, Performance improvements, better documenting public APIs, etc
I'm currently slowly working on a wikidata integration for their authors page. We also could use some help upgrading to Vue 3, mentors for Google summer of code would be helpful, find of ML projects needing help, moving away from old jQuery libraries, etc.
They can be quite responsive to PRs too like I blogged about here: https://blog.rayberger.org/idea-to-merged-in-less-than-30-mi...
For example, here's a small issue that could use some help on the python side: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/8928

Building an Open Source Decentralized E-Book Search Engine
OpenLibrary does provide search access to full texts. For example: https://openlibrary.org/search/inside?q=%22institutional+thi...
It is open source and they're always looking for contributors. I think they'd especially welcome help improving search!

MLIS books available digitally?
Check out https://openlibrary.org. You can search ´library science’, librarian’, etc, and something should come up. Just select the ‘ebooks’ option to search for items within the collection. And you can narrow the search by subject, etc.

NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month
Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site.
I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books. Which sounds like a major headache and also just defeats the concept of building a community.
Since this is really a weekend project, I'm just going to keep building the tools out to perfection and hope people will trickle in over time.
Luckily for me I just want to write, so the tools I'm building are exactly what works for my writing goals and I think overtime others will find the same value.

YSK: You can access many old and out of print hiking books from the Internet Archive's Open Library
The Internet Archive runs what they call the Open Library, which is a unique concept on the traditional library. You can sign-up with minimal details and digitally check out many scanned books from libraries all over the world. The only caveat is that almost all of the books are older editions - ones that would be impossible to find locally. It's great if you're looking for old routes, a look back in time, details about obscure areas, or just prefer to read a book rather than browse AllTrails. Please do still support local authors whenever you can as guidebooks take hundreds of hours to create and are slowly going extinct.

Searching for a pharmacy book
I want to clarify that I'm a non-US citizen, so accessing physical copies from US libraries or buying it from Amazon might not be feasible for me. To give you some context, my personal research was guided by the wiki section of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH (https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/reading/). I've conducted research using various online resources, including the Ebook & Open Source/Access Libraries such as Sci-Hub, Z-Library, Library Genesis, Anna’s Archive, and PDF Drive. Additionally, I've checked Torrent Search Engines like The Pirate Bay and BTDigg. Moreover, I've searched in Internet Archive and its Open Library but again I had no luck. However, I haven't yet explored software-based libraries. Finally I've looked into the Ebay if anyone had the particular book but it looks like both the versions are quite rare, because the book was meant to be only for Pharmarcist and especially for American ones.
